Trans-Centered Psychotherapy and Sex Therapy ( 1 CE Hour )
$35.00
1 CE Hour
Presented By: Damon Constantinides, Ph.D., LCSW
Recorded workshop available via video on demand
Description:
This workshop will introduce trans-centered care as an active model of practicing towards a world that centers justice and healing. Trans-centered care challenges therapists to shift foundational perspectives of gender that are rooted in mainstream Western culture to create a clinical experience for trans and gender non-conforming people(TGNC) that centers and lifts their own experiences and realities. Participants will be asked to practice personal reflection and curiosity regarding their own gendered experience and gender identity. We will also discuss use of self as a therapeutic tool and take a deep dive into cissexism both as a concept and an action. Knowing and understanding your own gender story provides an essential tool to identifying counter-transference when working with TGNC clients. Cissexism is an often unexamined part of each of our gender stories for both TGNC and cisgender social workers. Cissexism refers to the cultural belief that cisgender identities are normal and TGNC identities are other. It’s a belief woven into the fabric of our culture and shows up in our clinical spaces. Seeing and identifying cissexism allows social workers to create spaces and services that are truly trans-centered and affirming. This workshop is for clinicians of all gender identities and centers trans voices and experiences.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will be able to define trans-centered care, cissexism, and cissexual privilege.
- Participants will be able to name two ways that cissexism has shown up in their own practice.
- Participants will be able to name three resources to support them in providing trans-centered care.
