Description of Event:

Step into The Advanced Practitioner Summit: Imago, EMDR, Trauma Healing & Applied Sexology—a dynamic, two-day professional training designed for sexual health professionals who want to work at the leading edge of relational and sexual wellbeing.

Happening February 21–22, this training brings together Dr. Joe Kort and a roster of expert educators for an immersive deep dive into the therapeutic models shaping today’s most effective clinical practice. This is where advanced theory meets real-world application.

This training shows you how to integrate Imago Relationship Therapy, EMDR principles, and modern trauma-healing frameworks to transform conflict, process sexual and relational wounds, and strengthen clients’ emotional regulation and sense of safety. By weaving applied sexology with trauma-informed care, you’ll gain practical tools to address desire differences, arousal challenges, relational ruptures, compulsive patterns, and a wide range of sexual expressions.
