Workshop: What Do I Actually Need From People? An Art Therapy Workshop for Chronic Illness

Workshop Details
Join art therapist Karen Lill, MA, LPC, ATR, ACS and Destiny Davis, LPC, CRC for a live, hands on conversation about the relationships chronic illness reshapes, and a practical way to name what you need inside them. Karen has lived with chronic illness for over ten years, and many of her clients and colleagues do too. She's not explaining this from the outside.

Cost: $27 or pay-what-you-can (discount codes on the registration page)
Location: Live Zoom Webinar

Registration: https://www.thechronicillnesstherapist.com/workshops-events/what-do-i-actually-need-from-people



What We'll Cover:

Why Art Instead of Talking: Explore what art therapy actually is and why creativity reaches things that talking around them doesn't. No ability or disability required, and no artistic skill needed.

Building Your Relationship Map: Follow Karen through a five step exercise, live and on screen. Each step will be provided with time to create, or time to sit with your thoughts if art really isn't your thing.

What Does Support Look Like?: Answer it in specific language instead of general language. This is usually where the thing you've been circling for months finally lands.

Taking It With You- Walk away with a page you made and can make again. Bodies change, relationships change, and this is a twenty minute exercise you can return to any time something feels off and you can't name it.

Assessment and Diagnosis of Sexual Dysfunctions, Gender Dysphoria, and Paraphilic Disorders with Nick Marzo

Whether you are working on becoming a more sex positive provider or working towards AASECT Certification, this workshop will provide you with must have foundational skills! Together, we will learn the art of taking a sexual health assessment that is affirming and trauma-informed. From there, we will break down the complexities of using the DSM-V-TR and the ICD-11 to define and diagnose Sexual Dysfunctions, Gender Dysphoria, and Paraphilic Disorders. Finally, we will expand these concepts across the gender spectrum, allowing providers to think beyond the binary and move from concepts of dysfunction and pathology towards pleasure, euphoria, and embodiment.
These skills are crucial when working with individuals and relationships as a therapist, health advocate, coach, surrogate partner, or healthcare professional. We cannot help folks unlock their pleasure if we cannot first understand their discomfort and pain.

7:00 pm to 10:00 pm EST

Let's Talk About Sex: An Intro to Sex Positive Counseling

Sex? WOW, who wants to talk about that?!?! ME! Not only do I want to talk about it, I enjoy talking about it, call it a special topic of interest if you will. What makes my workshops a little different is that I come at things through a very queer lens and give you, the learner, permission to explore your boundaries and break free of the messages they teach us as therapists. I invite you to learn and live free.
