Overcoming Sexual Anxiety: Poly Edition is a transformative class created specifically for people navigating the unique challenges of sexual anxiety within polyamorous or ethically non-monogamous relationships. Whether you're managing multiple intimate connections, experiencing comparison or insecurity, or struggling to express your needs across partners, this course offers insight, support, and practical tools to help you reclaim your sexual confidence.
This class combines evidence-based strategies with compassionate discussion to help participants understand the root causes of their anxiety. From societal shame and relationship dynamics to communication breakdowns and fear of judgment, we’ll unpack the psychological and physiological factors that influence how we experience sex in a polyamorous context.
In addition to exploring theory, the course provides actionable techniques such as mindfulness, grounding exercises, communication skill-building, and body-positive practices. These tools are designed to help you identify triggers, reduce anxiety, and foster emotional safety across your relationships.
Whether you're a seasoned poly person or just beginning your journey, this class supports individuals, couples, and constellations in working through intimacy-related challenges together. If one or more people in a relationship experience sexual anxiety, the solution lies in understanding and collaboration—not in shame or silence.
