Or maybe you’ve done the homework. You’ve listened to all the podcasts, read the books, and even joined a few online communities. You’re packed with knowledge about non-monogamy, yet somehow, it still feels like you’re not quite where you want to be. All those great nuggets of wisdom give you hope this will get easier… until the next time you see your partner on their phone and immediately become convinced that the sexting on the other end is tantalizing enough that they’ll leave you forever and this is all too much but you can’t ask to close or slow down because then they’ll resent you but don’t they already resent you because you’re being emotionally needy and what was that episode you were just listening to about regularly scheduled check ins??? Turns out, your partner was just responding to a work email. You’re not sure if that makes you feel better or worse. Honey, take a deep breath.
I know it sucks, but it’s okay to feel this way. Implementing what you’ve learned, especially when it comes to something as nuanced and deeply personal as non-monogamy, isn’t easy. You might be asking yourself, “How do I take these ideas and make them work for me and my relationships?” or “Why is it so hard to apply this wisdom when I need it most?”
You’re not alone. In fact, I’d say you’re in the majority.
Many of us dive into consensual non-monogamy with excitement and desire, only to hit emotional walls that leave us questioning ourselves, our relationships, and even our bodies. Maybe you’ve tried to ‘think’ your way through it, you’ve figured out your ‘why’, only to find that your heart and body just aren’t on the same page as your mind. That’s where the real challenge lies—and that’s where I come in.
Welcome to Embodied Non-Monogamy, an 8-week online group coaching program designed to help you navigate the complexities of non-monogamy by bringing your body, mind, and relationships into harmonious alignment. This is more than just another course; it’s a playful yet profound journey in implementing the best-selling book, The Polyamory Paradox: Finding Your Confidence in Consensual Non-Monogamy. This program will guide you to use your pleasure as your compass for any relationship structure, build resilience and ease, and create the unique, right-fit relationships you desire, with the kind of support that’s missing when we try to go it alone.
I’m Irene, a sex-positive educator, somatic coach, and the author of The Polyamory Paradox. I’ve walked this path myself, and I’ve now helped hundreds of others find their paths in non-traditional relationships. I know the terrain intimately. My unique blend of somatics and trauma-informed coaching is here to help you step into your power and create the non-monogamous relationships you truly desire.
