The post Love Uncommon courses: Mapping Your Relationships and Coming Home appeared first on Rewriting The Rules.
]]>Read on to find out more about their work, and their current – and upcoming – online courses on mapping your relationships (for everybody) and emotional/nervous system regulation (for practioners).
Love Uncommon Collective
A bunch of great folk are now collaborating with Sophia Graham from Love Uncommon on various projects including:
- Our co-author of books like How to Understand Your Relationships, Alex Iantiffi
- Mel Cassidy, author of the highly recommended new relationship book Radical Relating
- Jaï Bristow, who we’ve been interviewed by many times, and who runs the excellent Power, Privilege and Prejudice online course
- Some of the folk who also work with the excellent Art of Consent
In particular, there are two online courses currently available, and coming up, on Love Uncommon that readers of Rewriting the Rules might be interested in:
Mapping Your Relationship Ecosystem
Available this week at a 50% discount with the code Holiday50
Sophia and Alex present a wonderful course – for everybody – on how to relate with greater awareness, intentionality, gentleness, and clarity about relational values.
The core concept is creating a visual map of all the significant connections in your life—your inner circle, your community, your relationship with creativity, and even your companion animals and environment. It’s an exercise in taking an honest, holistic look at your world (and there’s an interview with us about mapping inner relationships included)
Coming Home for Practitioners
The fabulous Daniel Morrison is putting on an online course – over eight weeks in the new year – specifically aimed at therapists, coaches and similar practitioners. It’s all about emotional regulation and mapping, navigating and shaping your autonomic nervous system. Here’s what he says about the course.
You’ll be led through structures to map your own system and learn to recognise states of protection and connection.
We’ll adventure together through your inner landscape, find the ways to navigate and the paths that lead you home.
In this course specially adapted for therapists and coaches, you’ll learn how to bring this important work to clients through deepening your understanding of your own system.
A version of this course should be available more widely in the future – watch this space.

Sophia Graham from Love Uncommon – who has so many great resources on self-consent among other things – and our beloved co-author Alex Iantaffi have put together an amazing programme of handouts, videos, recorded exercises and more. The course helps you to:
- Reflect on your relationships
- Check in with yourself about whether your relationships reflect your values, intentions and desires.
- Explore the patterns that play out in your relationships.
- Get in touch with the reality of your current relational world.
We – plurally – contributed a video interview for the course about how it can be useful to map our both internal and external relationships.
You can find out more about the course here.

Like the other books in the series, this one unpacks dominant cultural ways of understanding relationships, and how those impact us, as well as the messages about relationships and ways of relating we learn growing up. It goes on to help readers locate their own ways of relating, exploring conscious, consensual relationship practices, and the kinds of support systems people might build around their relationships. Throughout the book, we also try to hold the non-binary bothness that relationships hold for pain and pleasure, trauma and healing, restriction and freedom.
Vitally, How to Understand Your Relationships is about all kinds of relationships. While it will hopefully be helpful for those focused on partnerships – of the monogamous or non-monogamous variety – it is equally applicable to friendships, family relationships and parenting, work relationships, and relationships with other humans, non-human beings, and beyond.
You can order the book via the publishers here, and it will soon also be available as an audio book. Watch this space for a video with Alex, discussing the book and what it means to us.
You might also like to check out Alex’s other book, Trans and Disabled, which also just came out, and which includes a chapter we wrote on plurality.
