(HS Nelson 150036 2024) Healing from Sexual Trauma An Integrative Relationship Therapy Approach
Tracking # 20-1263602
Course overview
Healing from sexual trauma takes a systemic approach, and even with various treatment models, therapists can feel unsure about their treatment. Sex and relationship expert, Dr. Tammy Nelson will explore sexual trauma and how the roles of victim, perpetrator, and rescuer can get played out in treatment, entrenching both client and therapist in dysfunction and prevent growth. She will share interventions and techniques to apply integrative relationship therapy, working with both individuals and couples, to create insight, awareness, and change. The three stages of treatment will be covered- 1) investigating the narrative, 2) experiencing the grief process and 3) creating a new vision for healthy sexuality. Dr. Nelson will explain activation versus automatic triggers and methods to help clients manage and learn from them. Lastly, she will share a new sexual paradigm focused on pleasure rather than dysfunction and pathology and how you can move clients toward more permanent erotic recovery.
