Description
Description:
Through case examples, Esther Perel, MA, LMFT will show how to effectively engage such issues as intimacy, sexuality and infidelity by creating separate spaces where each partner can explore his/her feelings and experiences along with larger relationship dynamics. We will show how to navigate privacy and secrecy, honesty and transparency, stage interventions around sexual impasses, and structure a safe and flexible therapeutic environment to work effectively with infidelity. Provide a multicultural perspective on differing notions of love, marriage and sexual behaviors, and to highlight the relationship between culture and sexuality.
Educational Objectives:
- Identify the common blocks to eroticism that preclude the pursuit of pleasure.
- Learn why increased emotional intimacy can lead to decreased sexual desire.
- Invert the traditional therapeutic priorities using the sexual relationship as a lens into the individual and the couple's dynamics.
