Abstract:
This presentation equips therapists with essential skills to talk about sex and use it as an assessment tool for other issues, even if they don't specialize in sex therapy. Learn key questions to ask, effective communication strategies, and when to refer clients to a sex therapist. Enhance your practice by integrating sexual health into client care, improving outcomes, and fostering holistic well-being.
