About the Workshop
Therapists and counselors need training and tools to intervene with relationship issues where there are sexual dilemmas. After an overview of clinical concepts, this workshop will offer skills to help address concerns around intimacy, helping both individuals and couples improve their intimate relationships.
Talking about sex may trigger countertransference and projection for the therapist and couples can face frustration and repeat patterns that lead to destructive behaviors both individually and with a partner. We will review the basics of the integrative sex therapy model and touch upon trauma, abuse and affair recovery issues and how they impact treatment.
Based on clinical practice, research and case examples, we will cover interventions and techniques that foster effective, ethical therapeutic relationships for clients struggling with intimacy issues. And we will discuss ways to integrate this work into clinical practice, using interventions that foster positive treatment outcomes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand methods of approach to intervention in relationships that are experiencing sex and intimacy conflicts.
- Review social, emotional, sexual and intimacy skills in interpersonal relationships and how they affect couple dynamics.
- Review a range of sexual functioning and behavior, from optimal to problematic, issues including desire discrepancy, sexual trauma, monogamy issues and their affect on relationships and how to work these interventions into clinical practice.
