Title of Event: Smart Love and Pride of Sides Online Sexceptional Weekend
 
Description of Event:
We are thrilled to announce that Dr. Joe Kort, a distinguished psychotherapist with a wealth of experience, will be a featured speaker at our Sexceptional Weekend Online. SHA welcomes Dr. Joe Kort back to our faculty to teach after not only teaching with Esther Perel, but also gaining his fame on TikTok!
 
As the clinical director and founder of The Center for Relationship and Sexual Health in Royal Oak, Michigan, Dr. Kort has dedicated 36 years to helping individuals and couples enhance their lives and strengthen their relationships. With expertise in a wide range of areas, from marital conflicts to sexual health, LGBTQIA affirmative therapy, and trauma recovery using EMDR, Dr. Kort's contributions to the field of psychotherapy are invaluable. He holds multiple certifications, is an accomplished author, and hosts the podcast series "Smart Sex, Smart Love." 
 
Many therapists have reported an increase in male clients who are entering therapy with confusion around their sexual identity. These include self-identified straight men who are  having sex with other men, gay men married to women and struggling to come out, and men who have been sexually abused by male perpetrators who are disoriented around their sexual orientation. To support these men, therapist need to know how to explore potential underlying reasons for confusion about sexual identity, which can range from histories of sexual abuse to fluid, heteroflexible, or bisexual identities. In this workshop, you’ll gain the most up-to-date information on how to talk about sexual identity, as well as techniques for working with these male clients and their partners.
