Restore: Self Care for People who Give too Much

Are you exhausted and feeling burnt out from taking responsibility for other people in you life, to the point that you neglect your own needs? Have you forgotten how to to receive, or maybe you’re not sure what your needs are, and how to ask for them? This four part workshop is for folks who are over-givers: people who tend to over caretake, or prioritize the needs of others in relationship and tend to lose their sense of self, and often don’t get their own needs met. This workshop is designed to help you understand how you learned to over-give and how you can unlearn this pattern and create balance with boundaries, prioritizing your own needs, and holding on to your identity in relationships.


October 5: Understanding Attachment & Development of Relationships 

October 12: Exploring Family Systems
October 19: All about Boundaries

October 26: Differentiation: Maintaining your Identity in Relationship

Facilitators: Azaria Davis, LMSW & Atar Stav, LGPC

Intersectionality & Sexism in Relationships
Mar

3:00 AM03:00
Therapist Training, CE's, Webinar

Intersectionality & Sexism in Relationships

Join me (via Zoom) and the Integrative Sex Therapy Institute for a day of training on Intersectionality and Sexism in Relationships:

Promoting Sexual Health & Pleasure with an Intersectional Lens

10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m

Social inequities contribute to sexual dysfunction and create barriers for oppressed and minoritized groups to access pleasure. Sex therapists are in a unique position to address the effects of systemic oppression by using an intersectional analysis to help create practices that build resilience and resistance to oppression and help the communities we serve access and experience sexual pleasure.

Sexism in Relationships: COVID-19 and the Impact on Working Women

2:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m
Outdated gender roles have put women, and particularly women who are mothers, under extraordinary stress during the pandemic. The unequal distribution of labor in the home is magnified during the pandemic and the mass exodus of women forced to leave the workforce is causing immediate economic and psychological stress and deepening inequities. In this workshop, we will take a deep dive in understanding how we got here, and what we, as sex therapists can do about it.
