Lesbian Phobia

When working with lesbian clients do you sometimes find yourself stuck on how to help them develop a strong sense of self or meet their potential?
Most psychology programs don’t address lesbian issues from an affirmative perspective, leaving therapists on their own to find ways to navigate these cases. But it doesn’t have to be. Understanding the unique issues lesbians face in their lives is a game-changer.

In this recording, view Lauren Costine, PhD, (she/her) and learn the most cutting-edge techniques to help you assess and treat your lesbian clients that traditional techniques don’t always adequately address.

You’ll learn specific strategies to help lesbian clients overcome challenges with:

• The double “ism” of sexism and heterosexism that creates lesbianphobia
• Trauma and sense of self from growing up a woman and lesbian
• Low self-esteem and internalized lesbianphobia
• Dysfunctional relationship patterns, identity development, and addictions
• Co-dependency, boundary issues, and attachment problems
• Lesbian friendships and communities

You'll walk away with concrete tools to help you navigate sessions resulting in stronger confidence as an affirming clinician. Your clients will start experiencing a stronger sense of self, self-confidence and access to feelings of joy and well-being!
