Event held online via Zoom, link to access provided upon registration.
The term pleasure has a conflicted and sorted history. Throughout time pleasure seekers are seen as hedonistic, irresponsible, and untrustworthy individuals who cannot be considered serious. Pleasure is a highly sexualized word that is considered taboo and often shamed. What we have started to learn, however in the smallest fractals, is that pleasure does not have to be a dirty word. Adrienne Marie Brown’s Pleasure Activism gives us a scope of how pleasure is not solely sexual, and has serious implication when working with adolescents.
This talk will specifically discuss the importance of de-sexualizing ideas of pleasure throughout the lifespan and specifically focus on contending harmful and overly sexualized ideologies often modeled by adults. Expanding the definition and understanding of pleasure provides a biopsychosocial juxtaposition that provides potential harm reduction in behavioral practice for youth.
Zoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.
