Clinical ACT and Sexuality Group
The ACT and Sexuality Group is a space for clinicians who are working with sexuality, including sexual orientation, gender, identity, relationship structure, kink and any other topics adjacent to intimacy and sexuality, through the lens of Cognitive Behavioral Science and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. There is no requirement for any sex therapy background. The group is intended to help support all practitioners in sexuality related issues via case consultation and didactic presentations by experts in the field.
The group meets monthly on Mondays at 2 PM Eastern for 55 minutes.
Virtual meetings: there is no cost to participate.
For information on the date of the next session and to learn more about the group, please register.
Consensuality Workshop
Experientials that Challenge Awareness
Consensuality is an amalgamation of the words Consent and Sensuality. Consensuality emphasizes relationship enhancement and focuses on improving verbal and non-verbal skills for navigating the challenges and opportunities of sensual, intimate and vulnerable interactions. In this full day workshop, we will increase mindful awareness of our own needs and limits and the ability to effectively express them, while simultaneously increasing our awareness of the needs and limits of others. We challenge you to examine the many intimate and powerful nuances of advanced consent through a unique blend of experiential exercises. Join us in manifesting cutting-edge consent dialogue into powerful interpersonal connections. Let’s use consent to enhance sensuality.
A sampling of workshop topics:
Explore nuances of advanced consent (non-verbal consent, consent over time, revoking consent)
Improve your awareness of moments of choice, agency and responsibility
Enhance your ability to be emotionally courageous and vulnerable
Explore aftercare: social ruptures, transgressions and compassionate repair
Apply consent skills while enhancing intimacy without a chilling effect
Utilize consent with greater awareness of privilege, equity and inclusivity
