Sexual Health In Recovery (LIVE WEBINAR SERIES)

2-Week Live Online Webinar Series
September 10&17, 2021 | Every Friday | 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM Pacific Time

In this workshop we’ll explore healthy sexuality from diverse perspectives (differently abled, gender/gender identity, sexual orientation/configuration, age, cultural differences, relationship structures, body differences, and more). We will discuss some of the underlying principles and concepts of healthy sexuality and how they relate to the client’s recovery and overall wellbeing. We will consider how sexual and erotic experiences can be healing as well as how to support communication, consent, relationship skill building, and how to have sober pleasure/sex so we can help clients develop or continue their growth toward healthy sexual connection. We’ll also discuss how people in recovery may have masked – or even as a result of use developed – sexual health problems and how to help clients with these concerns – whether temporary or permanent. For many clients sexual health will be a critical part of their treatment and relapse prevention and we will review some of the research related to this topic. And we’ll look at exercises to use with the client, and discuss how to combine the exercises with therapeutic techniques such as motivational interviewing and exploring existential choice to help our clients set sexual health treatment goals as a part of recovery.
