Many people have experienced exactly that. A crisis about too little sleep and too many commitments, and the professional asks whether the polyamory might not be attachment anxiety.<\/p><p>That doesn&#8217;t happen in my practice. I work queer-affirmatively, with people in all consensual relationship structures \u2013 monogamous, polyamorous or open. Whether a model fits matters far more than debating the model in principle. The only question is: Does it work for the people involved, where is it currently stuck, and what are the underlying issues? Because those tend to be very similar, whatever the relationship model. Consensual non-monogamy, ethical non-monogamy, open relationship: different names, same ground. The vocabulary belongs here too: a metamour is your partner&#8217;s partner, and compersion is the joy of seeing a partner happy with someone else.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61ebe1c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"61ebe1c\"
