WORKING WITH CONSENT

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Date: 24th April 2024
5pm - 6:30pm
Price: $150
CLOSED FOR ENROLMENT

Consent is a hot topic in the media and currently, laws around consent are changing in Australia.

Consent is not simply a concept to be taught as part of sex education, nor is it limited to discussion in terms of sexual assault. It can actually be used to help people understand themselves and learn about their bodies and pleasure. Consent can create safety and with that, it can exponentially increase pleasure.

Learn how consent can be used to enhance your sexual communication, its role in long-term relationships, and how it is central to establishing safety.

This masterclass covers:

  • What is consent

  • Why is it important for our clients

  • How does consent increase pleasure

  • Using consent as an intervention in sex therapy presentations (sexual pain, mismatched libidos, relationship issues, sex coaching)

Delivery:
This 90-minute masterclass includes a one-hour lecture and a 30-minute Q+A.

This masterclass is ACA-approved & PACFA CPD A 1.5 hours

Note: This masterclass will be recorded and you will have access to the recording and resources for 12 months. These masterclasses are designed for participants to attend live classes to gain the full richness of the learning experience by asking questions and participating in discussions. Tanya’s knowledge is vast and the ability to ask questions ensures that the whole group will get the best and most relevant knowledge on the topics presented.


WORKING WITH PORN

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Date: Moved from 10th April to 15 May
12pm - 1:30pm
Price: $150

It’s no secret that pornography is a contentious topic for clients and practitioners alike. Our attitudes and beliefs about porn are shaped by social, cultural, political, religious, and moral influences and often involve feelings of shame or embarrassment. The antidote to our fraught relationship with sexual media is porn literacy.

Tanya will offer different lenses to view pornography (pardon the pun!) and share her non-pathologising approach that is rooted in curiosity to explore the meaning and beliefs clients hold about porn and how this impacts their relationship and themselves.

This masterclass will unpack the male gaze and unhelpful porn tropes, examine the role of porn in relationships, shine a light on porn infidelity, and explore whether personal porn use can be a good thing. Tanya will provide therapeutic frameworks to help folk become critical consumers of porn, and identify when porn use becomes problematic. She will demonstrate counselling interventions to facilitate dialogues about the role pornography might play in a client’s sexuality and relationships.

This masterclass covers:

  • Different lenses to view the use and role of pornography in people’s lives

  • Unpacking the male gaze and unhelpful porn tropes

  • Navigating porn infidelity

  • Identifying when porn use is problematic

  • Critical consumption of pornography

  • Counselling interventions to explore the meaning, thoughts and beliefs clients hold about porn

WORKING WITH INFIDELITY

PRACTICAL DETAILS

Date: 8th May 2024
5pm-6.30pm
Price: $150

Infidelity has always existed, yet it remains poorly understood by clients and practitioners alike. It’s a common presentation in couples counselling and undoubtedly one of the most painful and delicate issues clients seek support for. Most research indicates that globally around 70% of relationships experience an affair.

Esther Perel says “many affairs are break-ups, but some affairs are make-ups.” Tanya takes a no-blame approach to working with infidelity and harnesses curiosity, kindness, and generosity to help clients make sense of the experience and each other before rebuilding into relationship 2.0.

This masterclass will explore the causes and impacts of infidelity and provide counselling frameworks to support people who experience it. Tanya will share practical interventions to make sense of the situation, rebuild trust, and reinvent relationships.

This masterclass covers:

  • The complexities of infidelity

  • Impacts of infidelity on individuals and relationships

  • Counselling frameworks to support clients

  • Practical interventions to help clients make sense of the situation, rebuild trust, and reinvent the relationship
