Beyond the Dyad: Polyamory & EFT
Lindsay Hayes
How do those practicing ethical nonmonogamy experience relationships? In the first half of this 2-hour webinar, you'll hear about a qualitative study of a 9+ member polycule (network of romantically involved polyamorous adults). Lindsay Hayes's graduate research is the first of its kind to examine the lives and experiences of multiple adults in the same network of polyamorous relationships.
Next, we'll look at expanding EFT to serve clients practicing ethical nonmonogamy and polyamory. Learn how attachment and need fulfillment can vary for those in multiple relationships. Let's go beyond the dyad to enhance your work with nonmonogamous clients!
