Understanding pleasure requires a comprehensive view that encompasses biopsychosocial-sexual dimensions, recognizing how biological, psychological, and social factors interact to shape individual experiences of pleasure (Laan, Klein, Werner, van Lunsen, & Jansen, 2021). Pleasure is not a static phenomenon but a dynamic, lifelong process influenced by various stages of life and changes in personal circumstances. Thus, how we communicate about pleasure with a 5 year old will look different than with an 18 year old, a 30 year old and a 70 year old.
Communicating about pleasure takes various forms throughout a lifetime. Effective communication about pleasure between partners is crucial yet often challenging due to various barriers such as discomfort, lack of knowledge, or differing expectations. Identifying these barriers and implementing strategies to overcome them, like fostering open dialogue and building trust, is vital for enhancing mutual satisfaction. Additionally, when addressing sexual issues in therapy, addressing countertransference issues and personal biases is necessary to provide objective and empathetic support, ensuring that therapists can facilitate open and effective communication about pleasure without letting their own issues interfere.
This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 2.0 CEs for Psychologists, 2.0 IL CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, 2.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs, 2.0 AASECT CEUs for Sex Educators, Counselors, and Therapists, or 2.0 NBCC Clock Hours*. (*NBCC Clock Hours are available for live program attendance only.)
