Description

Psychosexual Therapy: A Beginner’s Workshop for Therapists – The Sexual Relationship Keeps the Score

This introductory workshop is for those not yet trained in psychosexual therapy but interested to include this area into their clinical practice. The sessions will include psychodynamic, attachment and psychosexual theory. The focus of the workshop is to highlight the couple’s sexual relationship as a portal to understanding and making sense of deeper relational concerns. Our facilitators, Andrew Davidson and Bridget Wilkins, are the co-leads for Tavistock Relationship‘s Diploma in Psychosexual Therapy and bring a wealth of experience to support clinicians who would like to be able to work more confidently with issues of sex in individual and couple therapy.

It can be common in talk therapy modalities to avoid bringing up and discussing the sexual relationship. Shame, myth and social taboos abound. However, with the skillful and sensitive approach developed over many years at TR, it is possible to work with the sexual relationship and sexual problems as a central factor in well-being and psychic development for individuals and couples. The relationship a couple creates is unique, shaped by their individual experiences with intimacy, touch, and connection throughout their lives. These patterns often stem from early childhood, influencing not only their sexual bond but also their emotional and relational dynamics. By working within the realm of their sexual relationship, therapists can facilitate meaningful changes that resonate across many aspects of their clients’ lives, enhancing communication, trust, and overall well-being, far beyond the sexual life.

Our course facilitators will create a safe forum where therapists can learn how to address complex sexual challenges. Numbers are limited to create a small, confidential gathering. There will be theory lectures, case discussions and an introduction to various psychosexual methods and techniques proven to support the development of intimacy.
