About This Group

Sexuality inevitably arises in our clinical work, often influencing both patient and clinician in ways that may be subtle but powerful. These moments can evoke complex emotions, including shame, vulnerability, and uncertainty, which when unexamined, may lead to impasses, ruptures, or ethical dilemmas. This is compounded by the fact that many training programs do not adequately cover sexuality as a clinical theme or issue. This supervision group is designed to provide a supportive and thoughtful space where clinicians from all backgrounds can deepen their understanding of the complex ways that sexuality, sexual issues, and related dynamics may appear in treatment.
