Presentation:

Somatic Sexual Healing

Charlie Glickman, PhD

Talking about sexuality and pleasure can go a long way towards helping your clients overcome their challenges. But there are also limits to what words can accomplish, which is where experiential practices can be useful. Somatic sex educator Charlie Glickman will teach you a series of safe, powerful, and effective tools to teach your clients about embodiment,  sexuality, and communication, while also giving you valuable and clinically-relevant information that will help you to support them. Some of these exercises include touching the hand, and possibly the forearm, so if you can shake hands with a client, you can integrate these skills into your practice immediately. You can also guide a couple through these exercises, allowing you to observe their interactions and offer guidance and feedback.

This intermediate to advanced presentation is for behavioral healthcare professionals in private practice, treatment program clinical directors/staff, community agencies and various mental health disciplines.

Objectives:

*Describe at least three ways in which somatic practices can support sexual healing in their clients differently than talk-based work
*Demonstrate five different somatic exercises for exploring embodiment, sexuality, and communication
*Discuss at least four clinically-relevant concerns that can be supported or explored through experiential work
*Identify at least three challenges they might face in using these tools and strategize ways to overcome them
