SHA Denver Director of Operations, Taylor Spaziani, interviews SHA Clinical Director and Certified Sex Therapy Supervisor, Dr. David Ley, Ph.D., CST-S! Catch him teaching at SHA's virtual workshop on Saturday, March 27th and Sunday, March 28th on modern sexuality issues in therapy and education where you can gain 16 AASECT and state CEs. Workshops are open to all professions.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
When it comes to sex, the definition of"mainstream" is changing — fast — and clients are disclosing new relationship and life issues in therapy that weren't on the radar 5 years ago.
These situations and countless more are walking into therapists' office every day, and most therapists have no training, resources, or guidance on how to conceptualize or treat these issues.
We will delve into how tech, media, and social changes affect modern sexuality, relationships, and mental health. Guidance on assessment, intervention, and treatment planning is given with lively, entertaining, and exciting real-world examples and case studies to help prevent overpathologizing sexual behaviors, just because they're new, misunderstood, or scary. Therapists and educators will learn to support their clients in developing sexual integrity through self-understanding and acceptance.
