Sexuality in the therapeutic office – selected clinical issues/workshop for professionals is intended for those working psychotherapeutically in various therapeutic modalities. Especially for those who already work with sexuality and need to develop their competence in this area. The workshop is open to those in psychotherapeutic training as well as psychotherapists with experience.
Sexuality in the therapist’s office – selected clinical issues:
The class provides an opportunity to update knowledge of sexuality, both for oneself and for those receiving therapy. Addressing this topic is also important because of the dynamic changes in the area of knowledge about human sexuality and the need to “keep up” with the rapidly changing needs of those receiving psychotherapy.
During the workshop, we will work on the most common sexual and clinical disorders in the area of sexuality, such as disorders of sexual function (sexual desire and arousal). We will discuss the phenomenon of sexual norm and disorder and the use of the GES and PLISSIT models in therapeutic work. There will also be an opportunity to supervise ongoing therapeutic processes related to the area of sexuality.
Sexuality in the therapist’s office – selected clinical issues – Workshop objectives:
- Increase knowledge: Provide participants with up-to-date information on the most common sexual disorders, their causes and ways.
- Development of therapeutic techniques: You will gain the knowledge and competence to work on selected areas in sexuality.
- Reflecting on one’s own attitudes: Helping participants understand and reflect on their own attitudes, beliefs, and values regarding sexuality,
which may influence the work in the study. - Strengthening communication skills: Learning to communicate effectively about difficult and sensitive issues related to sexuality.
- Creating a safe space: Enable psychotherapists/therapists to create a safe and non-judgmental environment in which to talk openly about their sexual problems.
One of the main reasons for allowing psychotherapy clients to open up the area of sexuality in the process of psychotherapy is the openness of the person who conducts psychotherapy. If shame, embarrassment or rigid norms regarding sexuality are present on the side of the psychotherapist_ty in the area of sexuality this area will not be addressed by the person receiving psychotherapy.
Sexuality is often an area that is marginalized and overlooked in psychotherapeutic training, thus perpetuating socio-cultural influences on what we perceive as the norm in sexuality. The workshop will allow those attending to look at their attitudes about sexuality and the sources of those attitudes.
