“The knowledge of the speakers, the practical nature and usefulness of the materials, could be used immediately. Handouts were terrific and generous in content”
– David, teleclass participant
Session One: Communication
How partners talk and listen to one another is key to their long-term sexual happiness. Neuroscience now shows that certain forms of conversation can open new pathways to erotic connection and intimacy. This class introduces specific dialogue techniques, which are developed by top experts in couples therapy and based on proven research and brain science.
Session Two: Confrontation
Many sexual relationships fail because they are conflict-avoidant. This class focuses on innovative confrontation skills, anger management, trauma resolution, and recovery from crisis in intimate relationships-including approaches to help high-affect clients and couples with intense reactivity.
Session Three: Facilitation
Physical injury, sudden illness, and long-term cancer recovery can cause retreat, resentment & guilt in sexual partnerships. This class looks beyond physical therapy to offer sex therapy techniques and other creative guidelines for helping individuals and couples retrain their unique erotic sensitivities-physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Session Four: Negotiation
Affairs, infidelity, open marriage, and other forms of monogamy agreements can challenge the therapist as well as the couples who struggle to define their sexuality. The focus of this class is on negotiating a vision of a new monogamy, beginning with expanded self-esteem and compassionate understanding, and adding creative techniques that lead to erotic recovery.
Session Five: Self-Actualization
One of the most challenging scenarios for therapists is when our clients’ issues trigger our own personal traumas-past and present. This class is about taking care of ourselves by stepping into the vital archetype of the Wounded Healer-calling forth our abilities for empathy, power, and creating healthy boundaries for both ourselves and our clients.
