LOVE, SEX, AND THE PSYCHOBIOLOGY OF THRIVING: AN INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO COUPLES AND SEX THERAPY:

Dates: Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29, 2013
Times: 10AM to 6PM each day

Location: Beverly Hills, CA

12 CE credits

Intimate love relationships are fundamental to human well-being. Attributes that enhance intimacy—understanding, affection, playfulness, and sexual pleasure—are associated with increases in oxytocin, dopamine, and other hormones that reduce stress and promote health and resilience. Sexual aliveness in long-term relationships fosters feelings of romantic love and contentment with oneself and one's partner.

This workshop reviews relevant research in positive psychology and the science of flourishing that is useful for helping clients build skills that nurture loving feelings and sexual pleasure. It offers a therapeutic model for working with individuals and couples on relationship and sexual issues that blends cognitive and somatic methodology.

The focus of this didactic and experiential training is on both personal growth and professional development. The experiential part of the workshop includes present-centered body-based Gestalt processing, breath and body attunement, and visceral and sensory perception exercises that inspire insight, reduce stress, and enhance ability to enjoy feelings of love and sexual pleasure.

As a participant you will learn evidence-based methods that can be integrated into your practice as well as enjoy a rich experience of personal learning.
