SCST Intro-Bellingham

Learning about sex/ual/ity and its importance in intimate relationships is missing in about 90% of general counseling or even couples therapy curriculum. As a result, many therapists risk perpetuating misinformation in their clinical work. This is a missed opportunity to provide a safe-enough, curious, and holistically informed space for your clients to create a more life-affirming and personally meaningful  relationship with sexuality.

The Somatic-Concentric Sex Therapy (S-CST) model offers an inclusive and trauma-informed model to guide you in working with clients’ sexual issues with a method that integrates the body, the mind, the social self, and emotional attachment styles. With the foundation of Sex Therapy, Somatic Psychotherapy, and Dance/Movement Therapy, this experiential method engages the many layers of the somatic and social self to uncover the shame and misinformation that creates wounds, stalling mind-body integration so that you can support them in total body connectivity and a securely attached relationship with their sex/ual/ity.In this introductory weekend we will cover the foundational elements of S-CST as well as its application for couples therapy work. You will learn how to theoretically and experientially incorporate somatic sex therapy into your work with clients through presentation of the model, numerous experientials, group discussion, and practice.
