Ethical Non-Monogamy: Beyond Bias & Basics

Consensual non-monogamy shows up in therapy rooms more often than many clinicians expect, yet most of us received little to no training on how to support these clients. In this conversation with Cassandra Lange, LCSW, MEd, we dive into the foundations of assessment, attachment, and identity when working with non-monogamous clients—and how to untangle our own biases along the way. Together, we explore the difference between orientation and lifestyle choice, the role of boundaries versus rules, and how issues like jealousy, compersion, and couples privilege play out in real relationships. Cassandra also shares key terms, common pitfalls (like unicorn hunting), and the importance of meeting clients where they are, whether they’re just beginning to explore or deeply rooted in CNM communities.

If you’ve ever wondered how to avoid missteps and instead provide informed, affirming care, this training offers both clarity and practical insight. And remember—you can get all your asynchronous CEs in one fun place with Not Boring CEs.
