Explores the intersection of attachment style and trauma, and how they present and affect a polyamorous relationship structure. Very informative and affirming
kimchifairy's review
One of the better accounts of adult attachment I've read, which manages to be informative without being prescriptive or condescending. The consideration of attachment theory in the context of non-normative relationships is refreshing, as is the acknowledgement that attachment styles and trauma relate not only to childhood, but also to marginalisation, environment and capital.

Polysecure gives readers exactly what it states in its subtitle. It provides a look at attachment theory, trauma, and the way those things can affect relationships when it comes to nonmonogamy. This is not a beginner's guide to nonmonogamy. There is an expected level of familiarity with it. The book is very purposeful in what its focus is, and it does it well. I was particularly happy with the way it addresses the concepts of attachment theory and nonmonogamy separately before diving into the intersection of them. It is well written, easy to understand, and I felt like I learned a lot about myself and past relationships from it. In fact, it helped me let go of some of the responsibility and guilt I have felt from my past, letting me see it in a new light. I definitely recommend this book to the right audience, and I feel like you will know if you are the right audience or not by reading the book blurb.

Therapist recommendation. Who would have thought the best book to learn about attachment styles would be from a polyamory book?! Certainly not me, but I would recommend to anyone

Very helpful information, will be referencing again. Concepts were communicated clearly, although her writing style made for sentences that were longer and structured more strangely than necessary.
