This drop-in group is designed to offer support for people who are in mixed dynamic
relationships in which one partner wants an exclusive relationship, and another partner
wants an open or multiple partner relationship. Designed for individuals, couples, and
polycules/collections of associated people who are searching for a way to manage
differences in what form of relationship they want, this group offers a judgement-free
zone to explore exclusive and open relationships without pressure to choose either one.
About your facilitator
Dr. Elisabeth "Eli" Sheff (she/her) has researched polyamorous families with children for over 25 years. She is the author of four books, 30+ peer-reviewed publications, and 130+ blogs on Psychology Today, with 10+ years’ experience coaching people facing challenges with CNM and BDSM. Dr. Eli specializes in the mono/CNM mismatch because she intellectualized her fear, and has been the mono partner in two CNM/mono marriages. Her super-power is combining research findings and trends gleaned from her coaching practice with personal insights to understand if, when, and how mono/CNM relationships can work or not.
