4 CE Hours

Presented by: Sylvia Rosenfeld, LCSW

Recorded workshop available via video on demand

Description: This workshop will explore how the repressive and conflicting messages we receive from family, religion, and culture, whether explicitly related to our sexuality or not, limit our potential for sexual feeling, meaning, curiosity, communication, empathy, and pleasure.

The Imago concept of the Lost Self will be discussed to show how these messages impact our core sexual self, our choice of partner and our erotic dance in relationship. Through lecture and experiential exercises participants will explore the messages that dictate sex-negative myths and beliefs. They will leave with tools for helping their clients reclaim their sexual selves, and expand their sexual repertoire.

Learning Objectives:

  1. List at least four ways negative cultural/familial beliefs and messages impact sexual pleasure and satisfaction.
