Description

It’s increasingly common for one partner in a relationship to have certain erotic kinks, fetishes, or sexual fantasies that the other partner doesn’t share. These differences in erotic orientation run the risk of creating shame, betrayal, secrecy, and defensiveness that can lead to intense relationship distress. But it doesn’t need to be that way. Being able to give clients a sexual and relational roadmap to navigate these differences can make all the difference. In this workshop, you’ll learn how to: 

  • Use “erotic compassion” in individual and couples sessions 
  • De-mystify kinks and fetishes for clients and their partners and uncover the non-erotic origins of many erotic interests 
  • Create a sexual roadmap that considers both the kinky and non-kinky partner’s interests and comfort levels
