Sex Therapy 2.0: From Conversation to Intervention

$150.00

Sex Therapy 2.0: From Conversation to Intervention is an advanced foundational training designed to help clinicians move beyond basic comfort discussing sexual wellbeing and toward practical clinical intervention.

Sexual concerns frequently arise in therapy in connection with relationship distress, trauma, attachment patterns, medical issues, and cultural or religious messaging about sexuality. However, many clinicians report uncertainty about how to move from conversation into meaningful clinical intervention while remaining within ethical scope of practice.

This workshop provides clinicians with an expanded framework for understanding sexual wellbeing through a biopsychosocial and relational lens. Participants will explore how attachment patterns, cultural messaging, identity development, and relational dynamics influence sexual functioning. The course will also address inclusive care for LGBTQ+ clients, consensual non-monogamous relationships, and clients engaging in kink or BDSM dynamics.

In addition to conceptual frameworks, the training focuses heavily on practical interventions therapists can use in session. Participants will learn how to introduce and process evidence-informed interventions such as sensate focus, sexual menu expansion, Yes/No/Maybe preference mapping, scheduling connection, initiation conversations, and desire discrepancy reframing.

Ethical scope of practice, homework boundaries, pornography conversations, and collaboration with medical providers will also be addressed.

Through discussion, experiential reflection, and case-based examples, clinicians will leave with practical tools they can integrate into their work immediately.
