Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Trainer and couples therapy expert, George Faller, LMFT and certified sex and EFT therapist, Laurie Watson, PhD join forces to teach therapists the importance of helping their couple clients reach sexual and emotional security. Without comfort around talking about sex, therapists often avoid resolving this critical part of their couple’s lives.

Our goal is to help couple therapists understand how the emotional and sexual attachment cycles are integrated, help therapist become comfortable with talking about sex, learn a thorough sexual assessment, and work through blocks in the sexual cycle.

Topics:

• What is Great Sex?
• Anatomy and Physiology
• Integrate the Sexual and Emotional Cycles in Practice
• Sexual Assessment
• When/How/Why to Bring Up Sex
• Stage 1 &2 Change Events
• Working with SAC (Sexual Attachment Cycle) Blocks

The workshop will include lectures and interactive break-out sessions.
