This educational and experiential course includes a comprehensive overview of chronic pelvic and sexual pain anatomy, physiology, and its connection with brain health and associated mental health symptoms and diagnoses. Formal and informal assessments, behavioral strategies, therapeutic interventions, and how to work with a “stuck” client” will all be reviewed. The course will conclude with case studies and Q & A. If your work includes clients with chronic pain, chronic illness, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders, depression, and/or sexual dysfunction, this course will offer insight into how it’s all connected, and participants will leave feeling a confident renewal in assessment and treatment approaches.
