Clinical Considerations for Working With Bisexual Clients
This 1.5-hour, synchronous virtual program will explore key considerations for working with bisexual and pansexual clients in a sex therapy context. Participants will learn about common challenges these clients may bring into therapy, debunk pervasive myths about bisexuality, reflect on their own assumptions and biases, and identify affirming clinical strategies to support bisexual clients.
The program will include a mix of lecture with PowerPoint, a case study, experiential activities, and time for personal reflection.
