This model offers an inclusive and trauma-informed model to guide you in working with clients sexual issues using a method that integrates the body, the mind, the social self, and relationship attachment styles. With the foundation of Sex Therapy with Somatic Psychotherapy and Dance/Movement Therapy, this method engages the many layers of the somatic and social self to uncover the shame and misinformation that creates wounds, stalling mind-body integration so that you can support them in total body connectivity and a securely attached relationship with their sex/ual/ity.
This learning experience is strength-based, emphasizing embodied consent to support moment to moment body autonomy and self-advocacy. It will show you how to assess and map out the exciting and easeful aspects of sexuality with the unconscious and fractured aspects, activating resilience to open exploration and discovery of a whole-bodied erotic self.
In the S-CST for Couples Therapy training, you will learn how to apply the S-CST model to your work with couples and people in intimate relationships.
*This model does not include touch, except for direction on how to facilitate consensual, non-sexual touch between members of a couple as a part of in-session experientials.
At the end of S-CST for Couples Therapy, you will learn:
- Embodied consent in committed relationship
- Relational somatic sculpturing to bring the underlying dynamic into the workable space
- Body movement assessment & interventions for experiential clinical work that also teaches practices for clients to take home.
- Combining Erotic Maps to support the couple with how they shift from challenging aspects of their sexual intimacy into easeful and exciting ways of relating.
- Applying Erotic Bodyfulness practice to both affection and sexual intimacy
- How to support a rhythm of secure attachment within relationship
- How to help clients meaningfully engage with the structure of their monogamous or non-monogamous relationship to support their connection and growth.
