    Course Description

    Sexuality is layered and complex. It is also often all but ignored in the clinical sphere. In this highly interactive presentation, Jenn Kennedy, PhD, LMFT will discuss the most common issues that arise in the sexual realm and offer insight about how to discuss sex and intimacy with female clients. Using the Biopsychorelational model, Dr. Kennedy will describe how various factors influence client's confidence, performance and interpersonal strategies to get their sexual needs met. She will also address unique diversity issues that arise for LGBT women around their sexuality.

    •     Identify common clinical, sexual presenting issues
    •     Consider what factors influence female sexuality
    •     Identify unique factors that affect lesbian/queer sexuality
    •     Briefly discuss theories or clinical tools and resources helpful in addressing sexual issues
    •     Discuss and normalize therapist countertransference and hesitancy


    Learning Objectives

    At the conclusion of this presentation, participants will be able to:
    1.     Identify and assess 4 female sexual presenting issues
    2.     Identify 3-4 factors that influence female sexuality
    3.     Identify unique factors affecting lesbian/queer sexuality and 2-3 theories to address them

    Video Recording and On-Demand Option

    RECAMFT plans to record this event, to make it available as an on-demand CE-earning program, barring any unforeseen technical or production issues. The on-demand version would be available for free to RECAMFT members, and for purchase by non-members. (Please note, access to our on-demand programs is a benefit of RECAMFT membership only and is not part of the reciprocal benefits extended to Marin CAMFT members.)


    For non-RECAMFT members: Please do not register for this "live" Zoom event if you are only interested in accessing the on-demand version. If you pay to register this "live" event, you are registering for this event only; on-demand access is not included. If you later decide you would rather do the on-demand program and not attend "live", then you would need to cancel your registration for this "live" event per the refund policy below.  If you register for this training under one of the paid registration options, and do not attend, and later ask to get access to the on-demand program, there will be a $10 administrative fee to cover RECAMFT's costs in setting up access to that separate program.

      • Zoom Meeting
          

      Within the last 6 years there have been increased stressors for therapist members professionally and personally.  These stressors include but are not limited to:

      • The Tubbs Wildfire and its aftermath
      • The COVID-19 Pandemic
      • Political, racial and world events that have caused unrest and violence and deaths
      • The economic issues that have results from the pandemic and other world events


      Many therapists have taken on an increased caseload to meet the needs that continue to outstrip the capacity of mental health professionals, while navigating working in a very different way online.  In addition, clients' recoveries are slower and their symptoms, stressors and pain are more acute.  

      Come to this group to share your experience and be witnessed by your peers as we navigate this unprecedented time.  This will be a time to not only share what we are experiencing and holding, but to also uplift each other.  Uplifting sharings could include readings, music or art, as well as guest members with healing offerings with body movement, sound, etc.  We will also explore some of the valuable written resources around this topic such as the books Burnout and Trauma Stewardship if there is interest.  We want this group to be what you need and are open to ideas and suggestions.

      Know that you are not alone, and come to be supported, validated and lifted up.
