When Sexuality Enters the Session: Building Confidence and Competence in Sex-Positive Therapeutic Conversations
4 CEs Available
First things first: you are a phenomenal therapist. Whether you see individuals, couples, polycules, or families, you excel at building a therapeutic context where folks can practice conflict in healthy ways, explore deep healing work, and grow authentically and sustainably.
The only tricky thing? That one semester in grad school on sex, gender, + sexuality didn't exactly leave you confident in navigating sex-focused conversations when they enter the room. To be fair, one course on sex, gender, + sexuality is not nearly enough to cover the expansive ways these things show up in your clients' experiences. Plus, most of us didn't get stellar sex education ourselves! You don't want to be a sex therapist, per se, but you do want to feel confident in the knowledge, resources, and skills required to engage in these conversations with clients, as they arise.
After this 4 hour in-person training, you will:
🩷 Understand evidence-based + shame-free sex education essentials to build your knowledge base (Turns out, it's more than reproduction + STIs!)
🩷 Identify your personal sexual value system, so that you can notice and bracket it in real time during sessions, making more space for clients to identify their own.
🩷 Recognize and clarify common sex + sexual health myths that add to a culture of sexual shame
🩷 Build + Practice necessary skills to integrate sex-positive approaches to conversations with clients + answer sexuality questions with confidence
🩷 Learn from a panel of your peers who specialize in specific sexuality-related client experiences
