Desire Discrepancy through an Asexual Lens

Title of Workshop: Desire Discrepancy through an Asexual Lens

Date: January 26, 2024, 12 pm MDT - 2:00 pm MDT

Location: Online Synchronous

Description:
One of the most common challenges that couples bring to therapy is the Desire Discrepancy.
You probably have a lot of experience with this challenge and an array of tools and therapeutic
techniques to support these couples in nurturing desire and arousal. But what do you do if one
of your clients is Asexual? What if nurturing desire and arousal is not actually affirming for your
clients? Join Aubri Lancaster and Molly Adler to discuss assessment techniques, DSM criteria,
the influence of dominant cultural narratives, biases, and making space for affirming relationship
models and practices.

This training will be recorded. Are you hoping to just watch the recording? While some of this
training is definitely experiential, we will be recording and you'll have access to watch for 90
days after the event. CE credit is available for asynchronous attendance.

Learning Objectives:
1. Deepen understanding of Compulsory Sexuality, Asexuality, and Aromanticism
2. Evaluate sexual disorders in the DSM with a critical lens
3. Differentiate between DSM diagnoses and lack of desire or arousal
4. Explore an Ace Inclusive Desire Discrepancy Toolbox
