Class 1
10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EST
Menopause and Sexual Health: An Interdisciplinary Clinical Framework for Sex Therapy
Menopause can affect mood, sleep, identity, sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, lubrication, genital comfort, urinary function, pelvic floor tone, and relationship dynamics. This 3-hour online seminar provides clinicians with an integrated biopsychosocial framework for understanding menopause-related sexual concerns, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, dyspareunia, pelvic floor dysfunction, body image changes, and relational distress. The seminar combines sex therapy concepts with pelvic physical therapy principles so clinicians can screen more effectively, communicate more comfortably, and collaborate across disciplines.

3 Hours
Class 2
1:45 PM - 3:45 PM EST
This interactive 2-hour training explores how contemporary romance novels can function as a clinically useful adjunct to integrative sex and couples therapy by supporting discussions of pleasure, fantasy, emotional intimacy, relational safety, erotic communication, and core attachment needs.
Drawing from emerging research on romance reading, bibliotherapy, sexual script theory, and integrative psychosexual frameworks, participants will examine how fictional narratives can help clients externalize desire, identify relational patterns, increase erotic curiosity, and build language around fantasy and arousal in a non-threatening and culturally accessible format.
Through guided discussion, experiential activities, and case-based application, clinicians will learn how romance novels may help clients explore themes such as emotional safety, desire discrepancy, consent, erotic identity, vulnerability, communication, novelty, longing, and pleasure entitlement. Participants will also discuss how therapists can ethically and intentionally incorporate romance narratives into treatment while remaining mindful of diversity, shame, trauma, neurodivergence, religious/cultural messaging, and the distinction between fantasy and expectation in intimate relationships.
