Description

Clients with sexual abuse histories often come to therapy with questions about their sexual expression and the obstacles they encounter in intimate relationships. They may find themselves engaging in trauma reenactment rather than safe, consensual sex and need a non-judgmental space to explore what sexual recovery means for them. Even well-trained trauma therapists often lack the personal comfort, language, and skillset necessary to assist their clients through this process. This recording will provide concrete strategies to help trauma survivors live more sexually fulfilling lives. You’ll explore: 

How different types of sexual abuse and trauma manifest in sexual behaviors, and how to help clients experience healthy sexual gratification 

How to help clients differentiate between unhealthy trauma reenactment and healthy play 

Five tools to help clients manage out-of-control sexual behaviors 

The countertransference issues that often arise for therapists around clients’ erotic interests, sexual expression, and behaviors in order to avoid negative judgment and inadvertent shaming
