Sexing Therapy
SEX THERAPY FOR THE NON-SEX THERAPIST
This workshop introduces practitioners to working with sexual issues. Many practitioners find initiating talk about sex and people’s sex lives daunting. A healthy sex life is part of a healthy life and central to wellbeing. This workshop aims to de-mystify sex in therapy.
Participants are introduced to psychosexual therapy and the role of psychosexual therapists. The impact of values and some of the issues of working in a psychosexual framework are explored. Participants are also introduced to the Ex-PLISSIT model of sex therapy. Time will be provided for case discussion and conceptualisation.
