Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Non-Monogamy by Jessica Fern - Non Fiction - Paperback
Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Non-monogamy by Jessica Fern is a groundbreaking, trauma‑informed guide for anyone seeking secure, loving attachments across multiple partnerships. If you’ve ever wondered how attachment theory — a cornerstone of modern psychology — can work in a non‑monogamous world, this book shows you exactly how. Fern reframes intimacy for polyamorous or ethically non‑monogamous relationships, offering practical, evidence‑based tools to cultivate safety, trust, and resilience with more than one partner. This is not a theoretical treatise; it’s a hands‑on manual for real life, written in a warm, accessible voice that speaks to both individuals and couples navigating the complexities of multiple loving relationships. You’ll discover six concrete strategies designed to move you toward secure attachments, even when past traumas or culturally conditioned expectations have made intimacy feel risky. If you’re charting a path toward more authentic connection, Polysecure is the compass you’ve been looking for.
What sets Polysecure apart is its innovative application of attachment theory to consensual non‑monogamy. Jessica Fern expands the traditional model with a nested framework that considers how trauma and relational dynamics unfold across multiple partners. The book blends psychotherapeutic insight with real‑world scenarios, helping readers translate abstract ideas into tangible changes in communication, boundaries, and emotional safety. Fern’s approach is grounded in empathy and practicality, offering readers a clear map for assessing attachment patterns, recognizing triggers, and building healthier responses in each relationship. By centering consent, responsiveness, and personal agency, Polysecure invites readers to rethink what “secure” looks like in a world where love isn’t limited to one partnership, and to cultivate attachments that are robust enough to withstand jealousy, uncertainty, and upheaval.
Who this book is for: This book is essential for anyone in or entering a consensual non‑monogamous arrangement — whether you’re single, dating, in a triad, or in a long‑term polyamorous partnership. It’s equally valuable for partners seeking to understand their own attachment styles, for therapists and coaches who support non‑monogamous clients, and for readers who want to reduce fear and increase emotional safety across multiple intimate relationships. If you’re curious about how to sustain authentic, secure love while navigating multiple connections, or you’re on a healing journey from past relational trauma, Polysecure offers a compassionate, actionable framework to guide your path.
