COURSE DESCRIPTION
More and more therapists are working with clients who are choosing non-traditional relationships. Many clients seek therapy to help them to help them navigate these relationships more skillfully, or to detach from harmful messages from childhood which carry guilt and shame around their identities.
As therapists, we must be knowledgeable about open relationships and non-monogamy so that we do not unintentionally reinforce messages preferencing monogamy or repeat harmful messages clients may have received that they are not worthy or they are bad. This training will help you identify your own biases, and teach you how to be more effective in supporting clients in finding more joy in their relationships.
You will be able to convey a non-judgemental approach, without ignoring stuck places people in non-monogamous relationships find themselves. And best of all--you’ll be able to help them find creative solutions and resources to help them on their journey!
EDUCATIONAL GOALS AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Therapists who take this course will be able to:
- Describe the diversity of gender, sexuality, and relationships, and provide one example for how each of these three constructs intersect with one another or with race, ability, and socio-economic status, to impact our clients.
- Analyze their own biases, and, having engaged in an exploration during the training related to therapist-as-self, they will be able to identify three biases about non-monogamy that may come up in themselves or in their clients. They will be able to discern if working with clients who are non-monogamous is appropriate for their practice.
- Analyze their own biases, and, having engaged in an exploration during the training related to therapist-as-self, will be able to continue to see how their own cultural bias shows up in the therapy room. They will be able to discern if working with clients who are non-monogamous is appropriate for their practice.
- Create a treatment plan, using their current theoretical models, for working with clients who are non-monogamous. They will be able to identify at least three objectives related to facilitating consultations about jealousy, stigma, and negotiating relationship boundaries and dynamics with non-monogamous clients.
