The aim of this workshop is to offer Marriage and Family Therapists and other clinicians insights and strategies for engaging queer, gender expansive, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Culture in sex therapy. Grounded in ethnosexuality, this presentation will encourage attendees to consider the intersections of race, gender, sexual orientation, and sexuality, and the impact these identities may have in the therapeutic space. Through interactive discussions, case studies, and practical strategies, attendees will learn to navigate positionality within sexuality. Therapists will gain practical tools to address complex issues that may be acting as barriers for clients to receiving competent sexological clinical care.
Learning objectives:
- After this workshop, attendees will be able to explain the concept of ethnosexuality.
- After this workshop, attendees will be able to name skills needed for integrating sex therapy techniques into work with QTBIPOC clients.
- At the end of this workshop attendees will be able to identify and explore self-of-the-therapist issues that arise from the course activities and experiences
