DESCRIPTION: Most therapists get very little training in sexuality. The public would be quite surprised, for example, that a counselor can get licensed without hearing the words vibrator, infidelity, prostate, or cunnilingus during their education.
Without specialized training, clinicians are left to rely on personal experience (which may not be so great), religious beliefs (which may not match our clients’), or the ideas of popular culture. And so most therapists base their interventions regarding sexuality on stereotypes, distortions, and factual errors without knowing it.
In this fast-paced webinar, award-winning sex therapist Dr. Marty Klein will highlight the most common myths therapists have about sexuality—that is, common sources of clinical errors. You may be surprised to learn, for example, that:
~ Preferences for kinky sex are sometimes wholesome and healthy, and sometimes an expression of emotional pathology.
~ Pornography is rarely the actual subject when couples are in conflict about pornography.
~ In roughly half of all heterosexual cases of desire discrepancy, the higher desire partner is female.
~ In cases of infidelity, requiring the Betrayer to disclose every last detail of the affair can destroy the primary relationship.
~ The solution for couples’ sexual dissatisfaction is rarely better erections, orgasm, or desire—even though that’s what couples routinely ask for.
In cases involving intimacy, power struggles, self-esteem, body image, and infidelity, sexuality is typically an issue. It’s crucial to approach these cases with accurate information, free from popular myths and cultural bias. This fast-paced webinar will challenge the way you’ve been dealing with sexual issues—and inspire you to discover and critique beliefs you didn’t even realize you had.
Target audience: This course is appropriate for all mental health professionals
