Love is expansive, organic and limitless. And yet our cultural paradigm for love, and clinical work in relationships, centers on heteronormative monogamy and a singluar sexual, romantic, and life partner. In this recording, we will explore current relationship paradigms, discuss emerging alternatives, and unpack the clinical implications of moving towards a more expansive sex and relationship model.
Queering therapy at every level means eliminating default modes, considering the vast horizons possible when oppression is dismantled and the complexities of humans are uplifted. We will plant seeds for further learning about therapy with relationally and erotically diverse clients in general!

Angie Gunn, LCSW, CST, is dedicated to the integration of lived experiences and dismantling systems of oppression to center the experiences of marginalized sex and gender communities in all of her work. Licensed in Oregon and Idaho, Angie co-owned Connective Therapy Collective, a group practice in Oregon, oversees the Equitable Care Certification under Zepp Wellness Center, and founded QTBoi, a community celebrating the complexity of sex and gender. Her work focuses on providing avenues for healing trauma, expanding authenticity and vulnerability, and finding infinite pathways to pleasure, connection and community. She treats primarily 2SLGBTQIPA+, kinky, non-monogamous, sex worker, and sexual trauma survivor clients through the lenses of anti-oppression, liberation psychology, and trauma-centered care. As a queer, kinky, non-monogamous abuse survivor, and sex worker, she's experienced the daily fight to balance personal and professional fulfillment and sexual expression. Through mediation, workshop facilitation and one on one support, her goal is personal integration with all the parts of herself, to provide transformation for all the parts of each of you, your relationships, and your communities.
