Of all the topics that clients and therapists find uncomfortable to talk about in the confines of the treatment room, sexuality is probably one of the most challenging. This 6-hour master class will feature ways in which expressive arts therapies can be used to help therapists and their clients address this. Together, we will engage in art making, reflective writing, experiential exercises, and dialogue for facilitating effective work with these issues in counseling and psychotherapy. Participants will learn a variety of prompts and directives that can be used to help adolescents and adults explore facets of their sexuality in a variety of clinical treatment situations, and promote participants’ awareness of their own attitudes and values regarding sexuality and its impact on treatment.
