Programs for Professionals
Given the new reality of our current global pandemic, I’ve designed a virtual format for the transformational ERST training. This Zoom-based program is a 3-weekend, 10-hour webinar per weekend, for a total of 30 hours and 30 CE credits for professionals. This ERST Virtual training will focus on emotional, relational, and sexual health and I am opening it to non-professionals as well. You may come as a couple or invite a partner to share this experience with you at no extra fee as long as you share a single screen. Here are the details.
The work is rooted in my dedicated exploration of the science and psychology of pleasure in my books, articles, and trainings of the last four decades, particularly in my latest book, Body-to-Body Intimacy: Transformation Through Love, Sex, and Neurobiology (2019)
Methods
Join this workshop by yourself
Those working on their own will have opportunities to explore their sexual and/or non-sexual relationships through relational imagery, memories re-awakened, and interactive group processes with other participants on the webinar screen.
Join with a partner
You do not have to be in a sexual relationship with your partner. You only need to be willing to share personal feelings, deepen the quality of your relationship, and support each other’s emotional, relational, and sexual healing and growth.
This holistic training is didactic and experiential. The experiential processing is based in Gestalt practices. The emphasis is on body-based present-centered experiential processing to encourage body-awareness and the integration of self, sexuality, and pleasure through openness, authenticity, empathy, and relational attunement.
We work with the breath, sensory awareness, intuitive sensing, memories, emotions, and stress regulation. The aim is to heal shame, embrace authenticity, and broaden expansive pleasures. This work is supported by the latest developments in interpersonal neurobiology, grounded in a solid understanding of human sexual biodiversity, and attuned to the critical roles of pleasure and play in emotional, physical, sexual, and relational health and happiness.

True love is not just about being true to another. The most fulfilling love is when you are also true to yourself. You want to be loved for who you truly are and not for who you can pretend to be.
Being romantic is a great way for partners to play. When one person is attentive to the other with a lighthearted and lively spirit and the other reciprocates in some way—laughs at the joke or smiles back and stays engaged—they've connected with their inner playmates.
