CE Workshop with Michael Giordano, LICSW, CST
Online via Zoom Video

Kinky sex and BDSM have long been misunderstood, and even pathologized, by society and clinicians. However, large numbers of people have kinky sex and are often uncomfortable talking to their therapist about it. This course will help therapists understand exactly what is kinky sex, including BDSM as well as their personal relationship and reaction to these misunderstood sexual practices. Additionally, participants will learn six elements of healthy sexuality, and how to assess if sexual activities — kinky or vanilla — are right for the client. This session is most relevant to intermediate-level clinicians, though all should be able to benefit from it.
