$55.00
Friday, September 13, 2024
7am-12:30pm PT / 9am-2:30pm CT / 10am-3:30pm ET
This event is presented in hybrid format. Participants have the option of attending in-person or participating via Zoom. Zoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.
Sex is an integral part of our identities and an important piece of our intimate relationships, but unfortunately it is rarely discussed in therapeutic settings. One of the many reasons for that is because sex is a vulnerable topic that many clients are uncomfortable discussing. The same can be said for mental health professionals as most have not been properly trained in how to address an individual’s or a couple’s sexual issues. Considering the interconnectedness between sex and people’s mental health, not addressing sex during counseling sessions is missing an opportunity to educate clients on what sexuality actually is (it’s not just what they see on TV and social media), to normalize the sexual issues that could be preventing them from healing, and to address issues that play such an important role in a person’s overall health or the health of their relationships.
This workshop will provide mental health professionals with a foundation on sex therapy that goes beyond the basics of psychology, anatomy, physiology and human development. Participants of this training will gain comfort in completing a basic sexual history assessment, identifying the most common dysfunctions, and understanding how working holistically with other professionals can help normalize the issues that are preventing clients from accepting themselves, their desires and their bodies, and developing meaningful sexual relationships.
Zoom link will be available on course page in “My Courses” upon event registration.
This program, when attended in its entirety, offers 5.0 CEs for Psychologists, 5.0 IL CEUS for Counselors and Social Workers, 5.0 BBS California CEUs for LPCCs, LPSWs, and LMFTs, or 5.0 AASECT CEs for Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists.
