Sexual shame, sex-negativity, and erotophobia influence every aspect of our lives and they’re often present in clinical settings, even when they’re not explicitly part of the conversation. In this two-day course, we’ll explore some of the patterns that affect sexuality and develop strategies for overcoming them. On March 6, we’ll examine some of the processes that create and deepen sexual shame, ways to recognize how shame affects our clients and ourselves, discuss its influence on relationships, and explore steps we can take to respond to it. On March 13, we will discuss what we can do to foster more positive relationships with sexuality in order to enhance health, pleasure and well-being. Some of the topics that will be covered include sexual diversity, the Myth of the Normal and its effects, tools for developing a sex-positive approach, and resources for further learning. You may attend either day of this workshop or both of them.
Objectives: By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Describe at least two physiological indicators of shame, and at least two affective indicators of shame.
- Describe at least three ways in which shame manifests in interpersonal and group dynamics.
- Describe at least two strategies for helping people respond to sexual shame.
- Identify three characteristics of sexual well-being
- Describe three ways in which the Myth of the Normal affects sexuality
- Identify two things that service providers can do to create sex-positive client interactions
The two courses combined are available for one unit of academic credit to CIIS students.
