Open Relationship Support Group: Why Open Love Helps You Thrive in CNM

Open Relationship Support Group Benefits for Communication, Jealousy and Connection


Open relationships can be expansive, exciting, and deeply aligned. They can also be emotionally intense in ways many people don’t expect, especially when jealousy, fear or miscommunication shows up.


If you’re practicing consensual non-monogamy, you may have already realized something important: most people aren’t taught how to do open relationships well. And most support spaces don’t understand the emotional and relational reality of CNM.


That’s why Open Love exists.


Open Love is an open relationship support group created to help individuals and couples build healthier communication, stronger boundaries, deeper emotional security, and more embodied intimacy -without shame, judgment, or confusion.



What an Open Relationship Support Group Provides That Most CNM Couples Don’t Have


Many people try to navigate open relationships through:

  • podcasts and books

  • online communities

  • trial and error

  • late-night processing conversations

  • constant reassurance cycles

While those can help, they often miss the most important piece: a structured, emotionally safe space to learn skills and receive support in real time.


An open relationship support group gives you:

  • practical CNM relationship tools

  • guidance from a trained relationship professional

  • community that understands your lived experience

  • accountability and consistency

  • nervous system support (not just “communication tips”)


Why an Open Relationship Support Group Helps With Jealousy

Jealousy is one of the most common pain points in consensual non-monogamy.

And jealousy doesn’t mean you’re doing CNM wrong.


Jealousy often points to:

  • fear of being replaced

  • fear of abandonment

  • comparison

  • unmet needs

  • attachment wounds

  • loss of control

  • a lack of reassurance or repair


Inside an open relationship support group, jealousy becomes something you can work with skillfully without shame, blame or spiraling. You learn how to understand what jealousy is communicating, regulate your nervous system, and communicate needs in a way that strengthens connection.


How Open Love Supports Open Relationship Communication

Open relationship communication isn’t just about being honest. It’s about being honest in a way that builds safety.


In Open Love, you’ll learn communication tools that help you:

  • talk about needs without control

  • express fears without collapse

  • ask for reassurance without shame

  • navigate difficult conversations without escalating

  • repair after rupture instead of avoiding it


This is one of the biggest reasons an open relationship support group is so effective: it teaches you how to communicate in ways that protect intimacy.


Why Open Love Helps You Create Boundaries and Agreements That Actually Work

In CNM, boundaries and agreements are essential—but many couples struggle to create them in a healthy way.


Common patterns include:

  • vague agreements that lead to confusion

  • rigid rules built from fear

  • agreements that aren’t updated as the relationship evolves

  • broken agreements with no repair process


Open Love helps you build boundaries and agreements that support:

  • clarity

  • consent

  • emotional safety

  • flexibility over time

  • repair when mistakes happen


An open relationship support group is especially helpful here because you’re not building your relationship structure alone.. you’re learning what works, what doesn’t and how to evolve with integrity.


How an Open Relationship Support Group Supports Secure Attachment in CNM

Many people assume non-monogamy requires you to be “above” attachment.

But secure attachment isn’t about not needing anyone. Secure attachment is about being able to need without panic, shame, or control.


Open Love supports secure attachment by helping you:

  • recognize your attachment style in open relationships

  • regulate during triggers

  • communicate from the nervous system, not the fear

  • build rituals of reassurance and connection

  • repair quickly after rupture

This is where CNM becomes less chaotic and more secure.


Who Open Love Is For

Open Love is an open relationship support group for:

  • couples opening their relationship for the first time

  • individuals navigating CNM while dating

  • polyamorous partners building secure attachment

  • couples dealing with jealousy, insecurity, or broken agreements

  • people who want more emotional safety and less confusion

  • anyone who wants CNM support that is trauma-informed and relationship-focused

All genders, relationship styles, and identities are welcome.


What You’ll Gain From Open Love

People often come to an open relationship support group hoping to feel less overwhelmed.

They leave with:

  • stronger communication skills

  • clearer agreements

  • less jealousy reactivity

  • more emotional security

  • deeper intimacy and trust

  • more confidence in their relationship structure

  • a sense of community and support

Open Love is not about doing CNM perfectly. It’s about doing it consciously—with honesty, care, and connection.
