Many couples enter therapy assuming their sexual concerns should be kept out of their couples therapy, and many therapists refer clients to a sex therapist as soon as a sexual issue arises, believing that those concerns fall outside of their purview. Yet it is difficult to imagine a couple facing crises, conflict, anger, hurt, or deep emotional distress without sexual dynamics also being part of the picture. Sometimes sexual issues are the presenting problem, other times they may surface only when the therapist asks about them. When therapists inquire openly about sexuality or about how crises affect a couple’s sexual connection, they signal that sexuality is a normal and essential part of relational life, reducing shame and inviting honest dialogue. This webinar will address six issues that can emerge in couples’ sexual and emotional lives: infidelity, infertility, mismatched desire, serious illness (including cancer), one partner coming out as gay or transgender, and requests to open the relationship. We will explore conceptual frameworks, clinical applications, practical interventions and skills for navigating each scenario. Because sexual topics can evoke strong reactions in therapists, we will also consider the importance of noticing our own biases, assumptions and emotional responses. Developing greater comfort and competence in discussing sexuality strengthens our ability to effectively and sensitively support couples through complicated issues.
