There are few issues that trigger our parts more than sex.
And when you work with clients who struggle with sexual issues, they’re often dealing with shame, guilt, confusion, and a lack of understanding about their own experiences.
Plus, the sensitive nature of sexual topics can make it difficult for clients (and let’s face it, many therapists) to open up and explore these issues in therapy at all.
But sex and sexuality are huge parts of your clients’ lives…and you need to be able to address them in their treatment.
Now in this program you’ll learn to use the popular IFS therapy approach to address sexuality in your work…all without needing to be a specialist.
You’ll join Patricia Rich. She’s a Certified IFS Therapist, Approved Consultant and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Supervisor whose work has been praised by IFS therapy developer Richard Schwartz.
Intended for those with a basic familiarity with IFS, she’ll invite curiosity about the parts of the client system that play roles in their sexual dilemma, teach techniques to find and befriend these parts, and offer ways to recognise the emergence of the client’s core Self Energy.
She will also guide you, the therapist, toward your own parts so that you can gain the clarity to help your clients to explore sexuality while maintaining appropriate boundaries, staying within your scope of practice and knowing when a referral is necessary.
Whether you work with couples or individuals, you’ll gain tools that can respectfully and gently facilitate access to this inner terrain and open new avenues for sexual growth and healing.
And with IFS therapy it will all feel so much more accessible for both you and your clients. No more struggling or avoiding these crucial conversations altogether.
So don’t wait. Register now!
