Jessica Fern, is a psychotherapist who specializes in working with polyamorous relationships, and she wrote Polysecure because she noticed a gap in literature that addressed how a person’s attachment style shows up for them in polyamorous relationships. Fern’s book addresses attachment styles, consensual non-monogamy (CNM), and the importance of cultivating a secure attachment with yourself before you dive into securely attaching with multiple partners.
