Workshop Details
What Juliet Grayson discovered when talking to ‘general’ therapists, is that most of them will wait for the client to raise sexual issues. However, clients who come for psychosexual therapy say they were unable to raise the topic of sex with their one-to-one therapist, because the therapist gave no indication that they were willing to explore that area. So, although it is a very important part of life that we all have to deal with, sex often gets left out of the therapy room. This talk is for those therapists that get brave enough to ask their clients about their sex lives.
Juliet will briefly cover the kinds of sexual issues that therapists could, with good supervision (perhaps from a specialist supervisor) work on with their clients. She will also cover the issues that should be referred on to a psychosexual therapist – because more specialist help is needed. She will go on to talk through the kinds of ‘treatment’ that a psychosexual therapist might offer the client.
