12-Hour Sex, Love, and Conservative Faith

Navigating sex therapy with religiously conservative clients (RCCs) can be a delicate balance, whether or not you, yourself, practice a faith.  When working with RCCs, you need to maintain principles of sex therapy practice while respectfully exploring their religious values, ideas, and behaviors, which may be at genuine odds with each other.   This self-paced learning activity will expand your thinking about RCCs--and it's appropriate for every sex therapist and any therapist who works with this population.  Enroll any time and download your Certificate of Competence in Sex, Love, and Conservative Faith immediately upon completion!  APA, AASECT, NBCC, and CA BRN CE.
