Description
Sex and intimacy are at the very core of the human experience. When something isn’t working in this realm of our lives, it can have a profound impact on the quality of our life. This is an advanced workshop for mental health clinicians and sex therapists. In this workshop, we will do a deep dive into the 4 step treatment approach for treating kinky couples as developed by Dr. Cannon. As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and expert in human sexuality and kink, Dr. Cannon takes a strength based approach that is always present as we explore how to help couples achieve their therapeutic goals.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the four-step process for treating kinky couples.
- Understand the difference between kink and abuse.
Dr. Cannon is a thought leader in the realm of treating kinky couples. Dr. Cannon’s oft cited doctoral dissertation was “A Psychological Assessment of BDSM Practitioners.” Dr. Cannon is considered an expert when it comes to treating kinky clients with multiple publications on the subject and over a decade of teaching this subject. Dr. Cannon is an instructor at The University of Michigan School of Social Work and Sexual Health Certificate Program and has served as the Colorado Section Leader for the American Association of Sexualtiy Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) since 2007. Dr. Cannon has been involved with DFI since 2005, first as a student, then as faculty, and now as faculty and Board Chair.
