Becoming a Kink Friendly Therapist
Title of Event: Becoming a Kink Friendly Therapist
Description of Event:
Many clients question if it’s safe to be “out” with therapists. Unfortunately, many clinicians may have unaddressed biases or assumptions about kink and may inadvertently pathologize clients. This presentation will provide introductory information about kink, help you apply an affirmative, intersectional lens in working with sexually diverse and kinky clients, better assess for safety, differentiate between consensual kink and abuse, and identify kink-affirming resources for cultural humility and to support your clients.
