Modern Love: Rethinking Intimacy and Sexuality in Couples Therapy with Esther Perel, LMFT (HS 051250)

Course overview

Traditional approaches to couples therapy are built on the assumptions that if you help a couple clear up the emotional issues in their relationship, sex will automatically get better. But it doesn't work that way. While couples in therapy do learn to strengthen their emotional bond, communicate more clearly, and resolve conflicts with less uproar, the sexual dimension of their relationship often remains unchanged. That's because sexual issues are seldom a direct consequence of anything else-not emotional disconnect, poor communication, or stress in the relationship. Hailed by The New York Times as The Sexual Healer, international couples therapy expert Esther Perel will address how modern love has transformed. She will teach you how sexuality and eroticism explicitly and directly are the best ways to help couples break out of stale sexual routines, reignite desire, and reclaim a vibrant erotic life. Esther's tools and strategies are guaranteed to increase your confidence and make conversations about sex less awkward and uncomfortable. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to get the new secrets of modern love so you can help your clients build long term intimate partnerships that combine commitment and safety with sexual vitality and erotic exploration.
