Love Without Emergency: Polyamory that Doesn't Destroy You

I want this, but I feel like I'm going to die

When we've been hurt in our past, relationships can feel fraught, and polyamorous ones even more so. Firebrand author Clementine Morrigan is no stranger to the intense emotions and nervous system reactions non-monogamy can inspire, especially in those of us with insecure attachment styles and significant trauma histories. With vulnerability and unflinching directness, she shows us how to embrace the parts of ourselves that have acted out, confront oppressive dynamics, and learn new strategies to build the loving relationships we desire.

Morrigan offers a new framework, a set of tools, and the achievable goal of building a sense of safety so that our multi-faceted love lives no longer overwhelm us. She invites any of us who's lived life on the edge to make our intimate relationships work on our own terms—without a constant experience of crisis.
