Sexing Therapy: Sex Therapy for the Non-Sex Therapist

This workshop introduces practitioners to working with sexual issues. Many practitioners find initiating talk about sex and people’s sex lives daunting. A healthy sex life is part of a healthy life and central to wellbeing. This workshop aims to de-mystify sex in therapy.

Participants are introduced to psychosexual therapy and the role of psychosexual therapists. The impact of values and some of the issues of working in a psychosexual framework are explored. Participants are also introduced to the Ex-PLISSIT model of sex therapy. Time will be provided for case discussion and conceptualisation.

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Articulate their values on sex and sexuality;

• Recognise the role of sexual (social) scripts to human sexuality function and dysfunction;

• Apply the first three stages of the Ex-PLISSIT model of sex therapy;

• Develop a sexual history script; and

• Engage clients on issues of sexuality.
