Explore
This topic will focus on exploring what makes working in the areas of sexuality and gender, similar but different, and what contributes to the complexity. We will explore how this can be done mindfully and deliberately and how this practice intersects and is compatible with Feedback Informed Treatment.
Reflect
Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own therapy practices as well as working through an extended case study which showcases therapy where multiple therapeutic frameworks have been employed.
