Reigniting the Flame, Part 2: Deepening Clinical Skills for Addressing Sexual Intimacy in Couples Therapy
Title of Event: Reigniting the Flame, Part 2: Deepening Clinical Skills for Addressing Sexual Intimacy in Couples Therapy
Description of Event:
This advanced training is designed for couples and sex therapists looking to deepen their clinical skills in addressing low sexual desire and fostering greater intimacy in romantic partnerships. Building on the previous two-hour presentation, this expanded session offers a more focused and practical guide to working with low desire in couples therapy.
Over the course of three hours, participants will review key concepts from the biopsychosocial model of sexual functioning and explore selected techniques from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and integrative psychosexual therapy. The training will move beyond introductory overviews to highlight practical applications of these models, including how to identify and respond to common clinical patterns such as desire discrepancies, intimacy avoidance, and sexual communication challenges.
