Description
Talking about sexuality is often difficult and uncomfortable. Most clinicians have limited training or experience talking about sexuality, sexual health, and sexual problems. It is critical to examine the sexual health of a client and to develop an understanding of what they are experiencing. Sexuality and spirituality are often at odds, and this workshop will discuss this dynamic. This workshop will also explore the importance of talking about sexuality and the usefulness of developing an understanding of a client’s sexual history, sexual thoughts, and sexual behaviors.
