THIS FRIDAY: Mastering Communication About Pleasure in Therapy

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

Communicating Pleasure Across a Lifetime

Friday, October 18th, 11 am- 1 pm EST

Join us for the Association of Counseling Sexology & Sexual Wellness's (ACSSW) monthly webinar on pleasure.

Understanding and communicating about pleasure is a complex, evolving process shaped by biological, psychological, social, and sexual factors. This dynamic nature requires therapists to adapt their approach at different stages of life, whether discussing pleasure with a 5-year-old, an 18-year-old, or a 70-year-old.

In this professional workshop, you'll learn how to effectively navigate conversations about pleasure with clients. We will address the barriers that can hinder open communication between partners, such as discomfort, lack of knowledge, or differing expectations, and provide strategies to overcome these obstacles. Additionally, we will explore how to recognize and manage countertransference and personal biases in therapy, ensuring you can offer objective, empathetic support.

Join us to enhance your ability to facilitate meaningful conversations about pleasure and intimacy, and provide your clients with the tools they need for deeper connection and satisfaction.

Presented by Andrea Battiola, LPC, LMHC and Jennifer Keilholtz, LPC, LCPC
