Sex as a Safe Adventure: Workshop for Therapists (Live Virtual Event)
FRIDAY OCT 25TH & SUNDAY OCTOBER 27TH, 2024 9AM - 5PM
Do Your Couples Present With Complaints of Sexual Issues, Such as
From the perspective of Emotionally Focused Therapy, such complaints are most often part of an underlying lack of security and bond in the relationship caused by the negative cycle between partners. At times, as the partners de-escalate and become more secure, sexual issues remain unresolved. Yet, many EFT therapists lack knowledge and skills in the area of sex assessment and intervention.
This workshop is designed to give you a strong foundation where sexual issues are the presenting problem in couple therapy. An introduction to up-to-date research on current models of sexuality will be presented. You will learn how to do an assessment of both the negative relational cycle and the sexual cycle, so you can skillfully work using EFT interventions with both cycles to help couples move to de-escalation. This workshop will also address how to integrate psychoeducation and simple behavioral sex therapy interventions as couples begin to move into stage 2 while at the same time continuing to build a secure bond through increased vulnerability. This workshop will include lectures, video examples, and experiential exercises.
