Therapy with LGBTQ+ individuals engaged in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) must come from an anti-oppressive stance to be effective. By definition, an anti-oppressive stance consists of any behaviors that work to disrupt and dismantle systems of oppression, from acknowledging potential impacts of oppression on the client in the therapy room to engaging in systems-level advocacy work. This section will discuss positive psychology interventions and best practices that therapists can utilize with their LGBTQ+ clients in CNM relationships. Then, we will provide two case examples that illustrate these concepts in practice.

Therapy with LGBTQ+ individuals engaged in consensual non-monogamy (CNM) must come from an anti-oppressive stance to be effective. By definition, an anti-oppressive stance consists of any behaviors that work to disrupt and dismantle systems of oppression, from acknowledging potential impacts of oppression on the client in the therapy room to engaging in systems-level advocacy work. This section will discuss positive psychology interventions and best practices that therapists can utilize with their LGBTQ+ clients in CNM relationships. Then, we will provide two case examples that illustrate these concepts in practice.
