Sex Therapy C. Theory & Methods of Intervention in Relationship Systems

ADHD is one of the most researched neurological disorders. That has not been the case for AFAB people and their experiences of ADHD over their lifespan. More specifically there has been no investigation of their experiences sexually and how ADHD may impact their experiences and their ability to experience sexual pleasure and connect with partners. In this talk listeners can expect to learn how AFAB people describe their understanding of how their symptoms of ADHD impact their sexual experiences and their bodies generally. Also expect to learn about how online communities have become huge places of support, misinformation, solidarity, and sharing of personal medical information. Listeners will also receive tips for improving their sexual experiences that are supportive of ADHD or other neurodivergence.
Learning Objectives:
• Explain three pervasive myths about ADHD specific to AFAB people.
• Discuss first-person experiences with ADHD symptoms and sexual functioning and respond appropriately.
• Describe in detail the benefits of online community support while also exploring of the risks
• Describe 2 specific interventions to offer AFAB clients/patients to improve their sexual experiences.
Activity schedule:
• Myths exploration and the AFAB experience of ADHD symptoms first hour
• Research data explanation qualitative/quantitative second hour
• Case Studies 3rd hour
• Specific Interventions 4th hour
