Emily Nagoski, PhD (She/Her/Hers) | Click here for information about Emily Nagoski
Lucie Fielding, PhD, MA, LMHCA (She/They) | Click here for information about Lucie Fielding

What would happen if we thought of our work as an opportunity to help clients imagine the radical and transformative possibilities of their being and their relationships, as opposed to merely "resolving problems?" How might our work shift toward liberation and pleasure, rather than merely resolving distress and pain? In this session, we'll learn how we can expand our imaginations as therapists — and help our clients dream of horizons beyond what queer theorist José Esteban Muñoz called the "prison house" of the here and now.

Disability, Gender and Sexuality
Alex Iantaffi, PhD, MS, SEP, CST, LMFT (they/them or he/him) | Click here for information about Alex Iantaffi

Michelle Vaughn
Paths to Flourishing in Consensually Non-monogamous People

Fluid Sexuality for Men and Gay Men
Joe Kort, Ph.D., LMSW, (He/Him/His) | Click here for information about Joe Kort

Gay men are often mislabeled as "sex addicts" and sexually compulsive, and therapists often assume they know more than they do about how gay men engage in erotic and sexual play. Joe Kort will help us ditch the dichotomies and normalize the unique ways gay men talk and play sexually. Walk away understanding how sexual fluidity can help you connect with gay men (and heterosexual men too!) and support overall well-being.

Lucie Fielding
Debunking the Safety Myth: A New Framework for Healing Amidst Uncertainty
Dr. Lucie Fielding, PhD, MA, LMHCA (she/they) | Click here for information about Lucie Fielding

Psychotherapists often presume that most forms of deep healing can take place only after we support a client in establishing a sense of safety. However, insisting on establishing a sense of safety can be countertherapeutic and invalidating for clients who are members of marginalized groups who may never feel safe in a profoundly unsafe world. In place of the safety axiom, this workshop will offer a new framework that will allow you to support clients in queer ambivalence, ambiguity, and uncertainty to support growth and change.
