As more and more people experiment with non-monogamy, therapists and coaches are being called upon to work with polyamory-related challenges in ways that address maladaptive relational strategies without perpetuating negative cultural bias. Join Martha Kauppi as she shares her strategies for supporting and strengthening well-functioning polyamory, and helping clients address challenges in ways that support personal growth and relational integrity. Learn what polyamory looks like when it functions well, what is missing when it doesn’t, and how to help clients close the gap. Expect concrete skill-building, clinical examples, crisp case conceptualization, and the opportunity to ask Martha about your toughest polyamory-related cases.
