ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Sexual shame, sex-negativity, and erotophobia influence every aspect of our lives. They're often present in clinical settings, even when they're not explicitly part of the conversation. In this class, we'll explore some of the patterns that negatively affect sexuality and develop strategies for overcoming them. We'll learn to identify and describe physiological and affective indicators of shame, and ways in which shame manifests in interpersonal and group dynamics. We'll also examine some of the processes that create and deepen sexual shame and ways to recognize how shame affects our clients and ourselves. Topics will include the influence of shame on relationships, and steps we can take to respond to it.
