In this highly practical advanced workshop participants will be offered updates regarding best practices, re- introduced to the underpinnings of Sensate Focus in Somatic Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Practice, and offered the opportunity to delve deeper in applying Sensate Focus suggestions to specific sexual difficulties. Case Studies will be utilized in a step by step illustration of the use of the Sensate Focus hierarchy with varying sexual dysfunctions as well as with challenging couple presentations. Participants are invited to bring case summaries for discussion.
