Diversities in sexual expression and lifestyles

Advanced Clinical Sexology Course

Title of Event: Advanced Clinical Sexology Course

This course fills in all the holes left from a graduate education that ignored the need for a solid basic education in clinical sexology for the health provider. Our clients/patients come to us expecting that we know these basics and assume we've been trained - but the vast majority of us have not. We, like them, not only did not receive comprehensive sex education when we grew up, but our graduate education, at best provided us with one or two very limited courses in sexuality.

Polyvagal Theory & KINK

Title of Event: Polyvagal Theory & KINK
 
Description of Event: This course is designed for both professional mental health workers AND individuals looking to establish safety and connection in their KINKY sex practices. We'll examine how incorporating the modern science of Interpersonal Neurobiology with KINK dynamics can allow for increased co-regulation and self-regulation skills so we can fully enjoy the ANXIETY and STRESS we intentionally invite into SEX.
