How do we know when our relationships are healthy in ethical non-monogamy? How do we know when we're treating our partners ethically, or if we're being treated ethically by our partners, especially during conflicts?
Cultivating Connection teaches a complete system for determining when to negotiate, when to stand your ground, and when to concede, as well as how to repair and strengthen relationship bonds based on what is psychologically healthy for the individuals involved and for the relationship between them. Drawing from polyvagal theory, attachment theory, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapies, and Imago and non-violent communication techniques.
Cultivating Connection is written in accessible, everyday language, with clear practical application in mind and exercises to help you and your partners to practice new skills together.
If you've ever struggled with painful miscommunications in your relationships, or wondered whether you were being too demanding, too controlling, giving away too much, or letting someone walk all over you, Cultivating Connection teaches simple yet powerful relationship skills that will set you and your partners on a path of constructive, collaborative communication and problem-solving.
