In this workshop you will learn:
1) Understanding Desire This module explores the meaning of sexual desire so clinician’s can help clients increase their insight into their sexual patterns, minimize their shame and embarrassment around sex, and give them permission to re-define sex and sexual desire for themselves.
2) Brief Assessment The second module is all about the assessment phase. We’ll cover several categories to explore when assessing sexual desire, dissatisfaction, and discrepancy. Rafaella talks about ‘The Six Ps’ as well as two other assessment tools. You’ll learn how to uncover the issues underneath desire and discrepancy, and discover the path forward.
3) Client Communication In module three, we'll explore communication roadblocks and how to address them with clients. A large part of relationship tension is due to a lack of communication or miscommunication about sex. We’ll discuss communication tools to help clients create dialogue within their relationships.
4) Sensual Connection In the final module, we’ll explore exercises that can help clients tap into their erotic selves. We discuss the importance in prioritizing both the solo erotic self as well as partnered sexuality and playfulness as part of strengthening a couples erotic dynamic.
