Desire Discrepancy through an Asexual Lens

Title of Event: Desire Discrepancy through an Asexual Lens
 
Description of Event:
One of the most common challenges that couples bring to therapy is 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.
 
Learning Objectives
  • Deepen understanding of Compulsory Sexuality, Asexuality, and Aromanticism
  • Evaluate sexual disorders in the DSM with a critical lens
  • Differentiate between DSM diagnoses and lack of desire or arousal
  • Explore an Ace Inclusive Desire Discrepancy Toolbox
 
This training will be recorded. 
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.
