This is an in person processing group for humans who identify as women in consensual non-monogamous (CNM) relationships. Our mission is to cultivate genuine connections and solidarity, offering a space to delve into the intricate dynamics, challenges, and enriching experiences inherent in CNM relationship structures.

This group is welcoming to those who identify as women, 18 and over, of all sexualities & expressions. The group is limited to a total of 8 participants. We welcome women involved in all types of dynamics, including but not limited to: polyamory, V-shaped relationships, polycules, relationship anarchy, swinging, solo-poly and “singleish.”

​The group meets in person on Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. It is a closed group and new members will not be accepted once the group begins. 

This is a talk-therapy processing group. Each session will loosely center on a theme for the week, often influenced by the group members and collaboratively chosen. Participants can expect to receive occasional resources, handouts, and some light psychoeducation on consensual non-monogamy and related topics.

​

We will cover a diverse range of topics, including but not limited to:

• 1. Attachment Styles & Injuries

• 2. Jealousy & Envy

• 3. Betrayal & Trust

• 4. Trauma & CNM

• 5. Dating Challenges

• 6. Conflicting Emotions Metamour Challenges

• 7. Impacts of Intersectional Identity

• 8. Parenting & Family Issues

• 9. Stylistic & Structural Issues

• 10. Sex, Intimacy & Sexual Health

• 11. Values, Boundaries & Negotiation

• 12. The Closeted vs. Public CNM Experience

• 13. Closing & Opening Up Relationships

The ideal client for this group identifies as a woman and is involved in some form of consensual non-monogamous (CNM) or ethical non-monogamous (ENM) relationship. It is beneficial for clients to have some level of external support (such as a friend, partner, individual therapist, or other spaces) and prior experience in therapy. Since process groups can evoke emotional responses, having external resources and some readiness to engage in this work is important. Clients should also possess the ability to respect group boundaries, contribute to maintaining a safe environment, and share emotional space within the group.

We ask that clients who occupy a spot in the group commit to attending at least 80% of the sessions. We request a 3-month commitment to foster group cohesion, safety, and trust. Additionally, we require a 24-hour notice for cancellations to avoid incurring the full fee for the group session.
