Finding what works for you in non-monogamy is highly personal and contextual - it can be tricky to know where your own boundaries lie. Quite often, we don't know we want a boundary somewhere, until it has already been crossed. This journal is designed to help you explore and anticipate potential needs and conflicts - perhaps before they've even arisen!
Within these pages are dozens of scenarios to explore, themed around Boundaries, Structure, Emotions, Compromises, Sexuality and Infidelity. With topics that include meeting and managing metamours, beginning relationships with infidelity, cowpoking, sexual health, One Penis Policies, compersion, first nights together - and so many more - this is the perfect companion for working out your own unique approach to non-monogamy.

Press Reviews
Meg-John Barker, Author of Rewriting the Rules and How To Understand Your Relationships.
Even when you've read a lot about relationships, it's easy to avoid really considering potential challenges until you're confronted with them.The Non-Monogamy Workbook provides a comprehensive list of the most common situations that crop up in non-monogamous life, including realistic scenarios to help readers to tune into what they'll feel if - or when - they happen to them. Rather than providing any kind of easy answers, Lola Phoenix guides readers through helpful sets of questions to enable them to create their own route-maps for how to navigate relationship agreements, conflicts, boundaries, tough feelings, community tensions, and more. An invaluable relationship resource.

It's incredibly practical, helping us devise concrete road maps for navigating some of non-monogamy's most difficult and rewarding terrains.
