S*x-Positive S*xual Assault Work
1pm – 4pm (in-person and virtual options for attendance)
Many of us understand when a survivor of s*xual assault copes by avoiding s*x—are we as understanding if survivors cope instead by seeking out s*x at increased levels? What if a survivor seeks “risky” s*xual encounters—should we have a clinical goal of changing this coping skill? Is it “healthy” if a client decides they never want to engage in s*x again? Led by a clinician with OAG training working with s*xual assault survivors and a certificate in s*x therapy, we will discuss and define what it means to be a s*x-positive therapist working with s*xual assault survivors, as well as examine how our own values around s*x and trauma may impact how we interact with these issues.

Grief and the Therapist: Managing Unexpected Client Death
9am – 12pm (in-person and virtual options for attendance)
There is nothing quite like the death of a client to really highlight the paradox of intimacy and professional distance in the therapeutic relationship. Most clinicians are ill-prepared for the unexpected death of a client. Join OKSRI for an interactive discussion of grief and the unexpected death of a client. Dr. Stevens will review the literature, explore avenues for preparation, identify and discuss the legal and ethical considerations, and lastly, provide suggestions and interventions for coping. While one cannot completely prepare themselves for the death of a client that is truly unexpected, clinicians can begin to confront their own values/beliefs and experiences related to death as a means to better serve themselves and their clients.
