Jealousy is one of the most frequently reported challenges among clients in ethically non-monogamous (ENM) relationships — and one of the most clinically underaddressed. Rather than a pathological response, it is often an informative signal worth getting curious about: an unmet need, an attachment injury, or a relationship agreement in need of revision. Learning to work with it effectively can be transformative for this population.
This training bridges established clinical competencies — trauma-informed, identity-affirming, and relationally grounded practice — with the specific knowledge and skills required to work effectively with clients navigating ENM relationships across the full spectrum of structures and identities.
Drawing from somatic, neurobiological, and relational modalities, Paige Bond, LMFT examines the psychobiological underpinnings of jealousy, equips clinicians with tools to help clients identify what the experience is communicating, and offers practical frameworks that translate directly into clinical practice.
Learning Objectives:
Explore the complexities of non-monogamous relationships and the challenges they present in therapy.
Normalize and reframe jealousy within an ENM context — moving from pathology toward curiosity.
Understand the various manifestations and triggers of jealousy within relationships.
Understand the neurobiology of jealousy: what's happening in the nervous system and why it matters clinically
Introduce practical strategies and interventions to address jealousy and enhance relationship satisfaction.
Discuss how to support clients in negotiating relationship agreements that actually work.
Discuss opportunities for integrating advanced approaches into partnered therapy practices.
Analyze case studies to apply learned techniques in navigating jealousy and non-monogamy effectively.
Your ENM clients are already in your waiting room — whether you know it or not.
Research suggests that somewhere between 4–5% of adults in the United States are currently engaged in consensual non-monogamy — a number larger than the combined bisexual, lesbian, and gay population. Many more are actively exploring it or have seriously considered it. These clients are showing up in individual therapy, couples work, and group settings. They're navigating jealousy, building agreements across complex relationship structures, and often walking into session hoping their therapist won't make them spend half the hour explaining what polyamory is.
This training gives you the fluency to meet them there.
You don't need to be an ENM expert. You just need to be a therapist who wants to show up more fully for a population that is consistently underserved. Paige will help you get there using modalities you already trust, with a framework that translates directly into your clinical work.
Walk away with:
A clearer, more confident understanding of jealousy as a clinical and relational phenomenon
Concrete somatic and cognitive tools ready to use in session
A practical lens for supporting non-monogamous relationship agreements and communication
Whether you work with individuals, couples, polycules, or all of the above and more — this training meets you where you are.
