Registration is open for Clinical Skills: Working with Sexual Issues in Psychotherapy

I’m excited to announce the next online class offered by Southwestern College/New Earth Institute’s Human Sexuality Certificate: 

Clinical Skills: Working with Sexual Issues in Psychotherapy 

Presented by: Laura Rademacher, MA, LMFT, CST, CST-S

Dates/Times: Saturday & Sunday, 2/3 & 2/4, 9am–6:30pm (Mountain Time)

DESCRIPTION: This course introduces participants to foundational models for working with sexuality within a therapeutic setting. Participants will become acquainted with a variety of clinical skills and approaches including both brief and comprehensive intake assessments, sexuality-focused question formulation, and building a container for therapeutic alliance. Foundational theoretical concepts and interventions for helping clients develop a more satisfying sexual and erotic life, such as Sensate Focus, Spontaneous/Responsive Desire, as well as the Dual Control Model will be introduced. Participants will be encouraged to identify and address areas of discomfort and implicit bias when working with sex-related topics in a clinical setting. This class will also assist practitioners in developing a listening perspective and therapeutic attitude that cultivates a safe, inclusive, validating exploration of sexual issues. Attention will be given to applying theoretical approaches in ways that are welcoming and affirming of a wide range of sexual identities, practices, and relationship styles.

This course offers 16 contact hours toward the NEI Human Sexuality Certificate, 16 AASECT CE’s, and 16 New Mexico CEC’s

Cost is $375
