How to Ask for What You Need Without Sounding Demanding or "Too Much": A somatic communication workshop for people practicing non-monogamy with Aria Diana, somatic relationship coach

A nervous-system-informed communication workshop for people practicing non-monogamy

In non-monogamous relationships, communication isn’t just about what we say. It’s about what our nervous system believes might happen after we speak.

Want to move from reactive, anxiety-driven communication into grounded, clear, self-respecting requests — without collapsing, controlling, or sounding “too much”?

Rather than focusing on scripts alone, this workshop weaves together somatic regulation, attachment-aware insight, and practical communication tools so you can actually stay present while asking for what matters.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify the real needs underneath common relationship complaints

  • Understand why needs can feel “high-stakes” in non-monogamy, and how to work with that

  • Regulate your nervous system before, during, and after making a request

  • Turn frustration into clear, doable requests that invite collaboration instead of defensiveness

  • Practice the difference between requests vs. demands, and why attachment to outcome matters

  • Stay steady in the moment after you ask, without backtracking, over-explaining, or disappearing

  • Create agreements that feel liberating rather than controlling

This workshop is especially supportive if you:

  • Pride yourself on being “chill” or flexible, but later feel unseen or resentful

  • Delay voicing needs until they come out charged or urgent

  • Struggle with fear of abandonment, comparison, or replacement

  • Want language that honors both your needs and your partner’s autonomy

  • Are practicing non-monogamy and want communication that supports emotional safety for everyone involved

What’s included:

  • Full 70 minute workshop replay

  • Nervous-system-informed teaching + real-world examples

  • Guided somatic practices you can return to anytime

  • Clear frameworks for needs, requests, boundaries, and agreements

  • Language you can adapt directly into your own relationships

  • A Menu of Needs resource to support integration (PDF download below)

This isn’t about saying things “perfectly.”

It’s about learning how to stay with yourself while you ask.

Because secure communication isn’t about getting a yes — it’s about trusting yourself enough to speak clearly, listen openly, and stay connected to who you are, no matter the response.
