“In a very short time, Polysecure has become a classic in poly literature - it fills a gap in the existing poly literature, as it is trauma-informed and places the responsibility for successful relationships not only on the individual but also on society. The book is suitable for anyone who is interested in polyamorous relationships and relationship work, regardless of whether they have been poly for a long time or are interested. Since it is written neutrally with โpartnersโ, there are no gender-specific classifications, and examples are also not gender-role ascriptions. Since this happens so often with attachment theories, it is very pleasant to read from a queer perspective”

“Ethical non-monogamy presents unique emotional opportunities and challenges. In this fascinating and very readable book, Jessica Fern looks at how polyamory and different attachment styles interact. Far from arguing that people are intractably locked into one style or another and all of its pitfalls, she shows how we can grow into more secure and open lovers.”

A practical translation of the principles of attachment theory to nonmonogamous relationships.
Attachment theory has entered the mainstream, but most discussions focus on how we can cultivate secure monogamous relationships. What if, like many people, youโre striving for secure, happy attachments with more than one partner?
Polyamorous psychotherapist Jessica Fern breaks new ground by extending attachment theory into the realm of consensual nonmonogamy. Using her nested model of attachment and trauma, she expands our understanding of how emotional experiences can influence our relationships. Then, she sets out six specific strategies to help you move toward secure attachments in your multiple relationships. Polysecure is both a trailblazing theoretical treatise and a practical guide.

Reviews
โReading this book has the potential to significantly strengthen the bonds within your monogamous or non-monogamous relationshipsโฆ I highly recommend it.โโArijana Palme, Access Therapy
"Polysecure provides a roadmap for people who want to establish emotionally intimate and securely attached relationships with multiple partners. One of the most important insights is that secure attachment is a product of relationship experiences, rather than relationship structures."โDr. Elisabeth Sheff, author of The Polyamorists Next Door, Stories from the Polycule, When Someone You Love is Polyamorous, and Children in Polyamorous Families
