Polysecure

Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Nonmonogamy
Book • 2020
Polysecure by Jessica Fern is a comprehensive guide that integrates attachment theory with consensual nonmonogamy.

Fern, a polyamorous psychotherapist, introduces a nested model of attachment and trauma, explaining how emotional experiences influence relationships.

The book is divided into three parts: the first part explains attachment theory, the second part applies this theory to polyamorous relationships, and the third part offers practical strategies (using the HEARTS model) to foster secure attachments.

Fern emphasizes that secure attachment is not limited to monogamous relationships and can be learned and developed in adulthood, regardless of one's childhood experiences.
