Learning Objectives:
Many people approach therapists and spiritual leaders for help with addressing concerns related to their sexuality. In this presentation, we will provide you with a model for understanding developmental and spiritual factors which may contribute to the emergence of distressing sexual feelings and behaviors. We will provide evidence-based, practical tools to help you address these issues in both clinical and pastoral settings. We will empower attendees with the latest psychological research on the science of sexual fluidity and provide instruction on the use of the Reintegrative Therapy Protocol, an evidence-based approach shown to treat trauma memories and trigger spontaneous shifts in client’s sexual feelings.
