About one in six boys is sexually abused before age 16. Often, as adults, males who've been sexually traumatized or abused act out with affairs, experience sexual-identity confusion, display hypersexuality or sexual anorexia, and can't emotionally commit to partners. In this workshop, you'll learn how to differentiate between types of abuse and the problems of sexuality and intimacy they cause, as well as how to assess these issues in the therapy session. We'll explore different categories and scenarios of sexual abuse, the issues related to whether the perpetrator was male or female, the distinctions between covert and overt sexual abuse, and the implications for therapy of all these situations. You'll leave knowing specific ways to empower clients and help them avoid the self-sabotage that can result from sexual trauma.
