Do You Discuss Sex with Your Clients? with Juliet Grayson (115 mins)

Do You Discuss Sex with Your Clients? - with Juliet Grayson (115 mins)

What Juliet Grayson discovered when talking to ‘general’ therapists, is that most of them will wait for the client to raise sexual issues. However, clients who come for psychosexual therapy say they were unable to raise the topic of sex with their one-to-one therapist, because the therapist gave no indication that they were willing to explore that area. So, although it is a very important part of life that we all have to deal with, sex often gets left out of the therapy room. This talk is for those therapists that get brave enough to ask their clients about their sex lives.

The talk includes a sex related Q&A.
