Open Deeply: A Guide to Building Conscious, Compassionate Open Relationships by Kate Loree LMFT
beastreader's review against another edition
4.0
Ok, so I somehow missed the part about this book being about non-monogamy. I thought it was about having open communication in relationships. Yet, I was curious to read this book and what a read it was. While I am not in a non-monogamy relationship, I don't judge anyone who is in one.
The author writes from experience, which does really help as only someone who is speaking from experience could write a book like this. There are still things that I took away from this book that I do feel like I could apply in my own relationship. The biggest is the way in which to speak and react to situations and my partner.
As Kate talks about in this book, in a non-monogamy relationship it is a lot about supporting your partner. Therefore, this means being aware of the other person(s) feelings more. In a monogamy relationship I think that sometimes can get lost and so it is important to take a few steps back and think about the other person. I found this book to be very insightful.

Great info on both attachment theory and non monogamy. If you're completely new to attachment theory I'd read Polysecure first and then this but it'll still make sense if you jump straight into this one
