Description

More and more clients are talking about polyamory and other forms of non-monogamy in therapy. As modern clinicians, we need an informed and non-judgmental understanding if we’re to work effectively.

Alessio will then continue to view polyamory through the Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy model as a useful framework to understand how archaic views on relationships can be combatted, so you can help facilitate your client’s self-determination, exploration and empowerment when engaging in non-traditional relationships.
