Presented by: Stephanie Wallace, LMFT, CST
In our culture, monogamous, dyadic partnerships are often depicted as the norm and ideal for relationships, and as a result, resources to support couples in times of difficulty are abundant. For consensually non-monogamous relationships, in which sex and/or romance are not shared exclusively within a dyad, fewer resources are available to guide and support partners, making it an essential task for a sex therapist to learn skills for working with these clients. In this skills training course, participants will begin with a brief lecture outlining basic knowledge about consensual non-monogamy and some therapeutic approaches and interventions for relational therapy with these clients. Next, participants will be challenged to explore their own beliefs, biases, and values about monogamy and non-monogamy, utilizing break out rooms and facilitated discussion. After the lunch break, participants will spend the afternoon engaging in Q&A sessions, case discussion, and role play scenarios. Participants are invited to bring questions about their own clinical work, as well as to consider hypothetical clinical scenarios presented by the instructor.
