Loving your own way doesn't have to hurt.

Love Without Emergency

Polyamory that Doesn't Destroy You

by Clementine Morrigan (Author)

Love doesn't have to hurt. When we've been hurt in our past, any 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 polyamory can inspire, especially in those of us with insecure attachment styles and significant trauma histories. With directness, vulnerability, and warmth, she shows us how to embrace the parts of ourselves that have acted out, while learning new strategies for our relationships going forward.

Most resources on polyamory assume the reader is untraumatized and has secure attachment; most resources on the impact of trauma and insecure attachment on relationships assume the reader is monogamous. Not this book!
Author has a large, global audience and media presence, particularly in the podcast world.
Author pulls no punches--no soft therapy-speak or beating around the bush; she tells it like it is.
