Ethical Non-Monogamy for Therapists:
Course Components & Value
Online e-Book
This comprehensive 45 page book provides guidance for the scenarios you may encounter in your practice with individuals, couples and groups. It’s packed with definitions, personal anecdotes, words from the community, common blind spots and resources, and will surely become your go-to guide out in the field.
“A fantastic resource that provides important foundational information and sets the tone for the subsequent workbook and integration session. It is clear, well written and organizes the information in a way that is easy to follow.
I found it particularly helpful that it not only gives an overview of some basic ENM explanations and ideas but is also specifically targeting the therapy experience with discussions on therapist blind spots, therapeutic considerations, and examples of common client concerns.” A.A
Reflection Workbook
As therapists, we know how important it is to continually reflect on our internalized bias and be aware of the potential for projection getting in the way of supporting our clients. This is why we are not only offering an e-book and an integration session, but also this workbook, which you can print or edit digitally, to accompany your journey.
”The Workbook is where the real learning happens. It gently guides the student in challenging core beliefs and using new-found knowledge in a practical way. It explores how we will bring the content to our clients, using intriguing case studies and real-life examples. I loved working through the exercises and integrating the content into my existing values and perspective. The workbook turns this from a "course" into a "transformative experience.” -J.C
Worksheets for Clients
We’ve all been there, those times when standard 60-90 minute sessions just don’t feel like enough time. That’s why the course also includes 7 PDF worksheets to give to your clients exploring ENM. Ranging from questions for individual exploration of one’s ideal relationship style to exercises for couples— you’ll find many options to enhance your work outside of sessions.
”I can't wait to use these worksheets with my clients! They are beautiful, professional and incredibly useful in supporting clients to explore their inner needs, beliefs and values. Thank you for sharing this incredible tool.” -J.C
An Ongoing Community
As you may have guessed, this is not a one time, one stop, educational experience. The Ethical Non-Monogamous community is growing and changing every day. YOU are growing and changing every day, and your practice will too. We’ve created a Facebook group for all the past and current participants of this course so that you can share successes, ask questions, and meet other professionals who are interested in opening up their hearts to unconventional clients.

Live Online Integration
We are well aware, reading about humans in a book isn’t enough to understand how to support them. This is why we have included an option for an integration session with Cherish or Cora to bring your questions for discussion and unpack the case studies from the textbook.
“Having the wisdom of Cherish and Cora to help with more nuanced reflection was extremely helpful. The integration session was really where the other components of the course all came together to feel fully incorporated into my practice with clients.” -A.A
Certificate of Completion
Keeping track of your efforts is an important part of skill development so we provide you with a certificate of completion once you have attended an integration session. This course may qualify for professional development credits with your registering body and you can present this certificate to show your work.
