OPEN DEEPLY

The book the coaching draws from.

A Guide to Building Conscious, Compassionate Open Relationships

Open Deeply book cover by Kate Loree

Open Deeply is the book I wrote for the people I keep meeting in my practice. Couples, triads and individuals trying to build non-monogamous, kink-affirmative, queer-inclusive relationships without losing themselves in the process. It is the book I wish I had at age thirty-two.

The frameworks I use in coaching (the EPIC Communication Model, Double Triggers, my approach to jealousy, the somatic grounding work) are introduced in the book in their original form. Reading the book before our first session will not be required. But many clients have read it before they ever wrote to me, and the work goes faster when we are working from a shared vocabulary.
