The Modern Love Language Intensive

Title of Event: The Modern Love Language Intensive
 
Description of Event:
The Modern Love Language Intensive offers clinicians, coaches, and sexuality professionals a deep dive into an updated and expansive approach to the popular "love language" relational theory. Join Speaking from the Heart: 18 Languages for Modern Love author Anne Hodder-Shipp for a friendly and engaging workshop that transforms the popular romance-centered theory into a valuable connection, communication, and rapport-building tool that clients can use in ALL their relationships - not just romantic ones. If you use the love language concept in your work, or your clients bring it up often, this workshop is for you. This workshop includes interactive exercises, large and small group discussion, skills-building, and more active learning tools.
 
This workshop is right for you if:
  • You feel curious about how you or your clients relate to love — and if it could use an adjustment.
  • You are tired of the sex-and-romance relationship narrative and want to help people build loving relationships that are on THEIR terms.
  • Your clients need some help figuring out what those terms might be.
  • You want to explore — and maybe even reject — various social scripts around dating, love, and connection that commonly come up in your sessions.
  • You find tools like Attachment Theory or boundary work helpful.
  • You work with couples and notice that “desire discrepancy” and sexual entitlement issues come up frequently.
  • You want stronger competency in working with asexual and aromantic people, and anyone with a sexual orientation that might fall along those spectrums.
  • You want to help “undo” the harms of purity culture, gender roles, heteronormativity, and sexual pathology in your clients’ romantic and sexual relationships.
  • You want to expand your knowledge and understanding of platonic and queerplatonic relationships, and how important they are for building chosen family and community.
  • Bodily autonomy, consent culture, and reproductive justice (among other important values) are important to you and your work.
  • You feel inspired in communal learning (and unlearning) environments with like-minded people.
