Written by a psychotherapist with clinical experience, it helps readers understand how childhood attachment patterns and past trauma shape jealousy, insecurity and communication in multi-partner relationships. Combining psychological theory with compassionate, practical exercises, this paperback is widely regarded as essential reading for anyone building consensual non-monogamy, whether newly exploring open relationships or deepening long-term polyamorous partnerships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn Polysecure, Jessica Fern introduces her \"nested model\" of attachment, blending traditional attachment theory with attachment to self, partners and community to explain why some non-monogamous relationships thrive while others struggle. Drawing on her clinical work and personal experience within the polyamorous community, Fern unpacks how early relational wounds and trauma responses resurface in multi-partner dynamics, often manifesting as jealousy, anxious attachment or avoidant withdrawal. Rather than treating non-monogamy as inherently unstable, she argues that secure attachment is achievable with any relationship structure once underlying trauma is addressed. The book offers six concrete strategies readers can use to build trust, improve communication, and create emotional safety across several relationships at once. Case studies ground the theory in lived experience, making abstract psychological concepts feel immediately applicable. Fern also explores how societal conditioning around monogamy can leave people ill-equipped for polyamory's emotional demands, offering tools for unlearning these scripts. Topics include navigating new relationship energy, managing metamour relationships, and processing breakups within a polycule. The tone throughout is empathetic and non-judgemental, written for therapists, individuals and couples alike. Since publication, Polysecure has become a touchstone text in the non-monogamy community, frequently recommended by relationship therapists for its clear, actionable framework.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplies established attachment theory specifically to polyamorous and consensually non-monogamous relationships.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers six practical strategies for building secure, trusting connections across multiple partners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten by a licensed psychotherapist with direct clinical and personal experience of non-monogamy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses real challenges such as jealousy, insecurity, new relationship energy and breakups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for individuals, couples and polycules, as well as therapists supporting non-monogamous clients.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlends accessible language with evidence-based psychological concepts for lasting personal growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJessica Fern is a psychotherapist, public speaker and trauma specialist known internationally for her work on attachment within non-traditional relationship structures.
