#therapistsofmastodon — Public Fediverse posts

attending an online workshop and booklaunch with Dr Dwight Turner on supremacy in counselling and Psychotherapy, his previous book, intersections of privilidge and otherness is vital reading for all therapists and therapy students #therapistsconnect #TherapistsofMastodon

wanting to cheer at every word for cyndi darnells talk on sex work mental health and stigma at #pinkconf23 #therapy #sexwork #therapistsconnect #TherapistsofMastodon

the programme for today and tomorrow #pinkconf23 #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

Now Julie Sale speaking about erotic diversity in heterosexuality, its so important to understand the difference between heterosexuality and heternormativity - non consensual "queering" of erotically diverse cis het groups has bothered me for a while, esp when queer ppl do it #pinkconf23 #TherapistsofMastodon

running the online side of day 1 of the Pink Therapy annual conference, and the first presentation is a powerful one on the use of narrative therapy to empower queer women to explore and embrace their sex and erotic lives . If you are attending #pinkconf23 say hi, i am in the patchwork dungarees #lgbtq #queer #TherapistsofMastodon

Day 3 of the Pink Therapy think tank, with attendees from New Zealand to New York and sessions covering cultural competency with gsrd/neuroqueer folks, writing our own ethical framework for gsrd clinicians, what makes a gsrd therapist and how we take better care of ourselves...and it's not over yet! This is going to be genuinely world changing #nonbinary #lgbtq #actuallyAutistic #therapy #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

incredibly exciting week ahead with the Pink Therapy think tank and Conference- I have done the vital prep of batchcooking summer vegetable soup and garlic chicken curry for the household in my absence #cooking #food #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

some thoughts after attending the Rainbow Therapists conference this weekend https://counsellinginnorthumberland.com/2023/06/12/somewhere-over-the-rainbow/ #pride #PrideMonth #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

one of the activities today was asking workshop attendees to put the first word which came to mind when they thought of sex work onto the sheets - try it ‐ then notice if you try to change it to something else - in this dance we start to unpack our projections and unconscious biases #sexwork #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect #lgbttherapy #queertherapy #lgbtq #nonbinary #

leading a workshop on removing barriers when therapists work with sex workers today (focusing in internalised prejudices and unconscious bias) If anyone else is at the Rainbow Therapists conference say hi! #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect #Pride #PrideMonth #SexWork

such an important discussion of what happens when we share the trauma our supervisees and their clients bring - queer therapists are also impacted by their own experiences of being queer #queersupervision #queertherapy #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

GSRD is a term developed by MJ Barker and Dominic Davies to describe those populations in therapy impacted by oppressions related to gender/sex (including intersex) sexuality and Relationship diversity - basically everyone who is impacted to a lesser and greater degree by not fitting into Cis het allo mono norms (which to be honest is everyone) #queertherapy #queersupervision #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

quick introduction of the 7 eye model and the GSRD core competencies produced by Dominic Davies last year - these core competencies are vital whether you have one GSRD client or all of your clients are GSRD https://pinktherapy.org/gender-sex-and-relationship-therapy-an-emergent-new-psychotherapeutic-approach/ #queertherapy #queersupervision #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

attending a queer supervision training today, exciting as queer clients,supervisees and supervision is usually barely mentioned. Will try to toot when I can #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect #therapy #queertherapy #lgbt #nonbinary

One of the things which hits me every time I train baby therapists is explaining that things are substantially worse for lgbtqaai people now than they were 5 yrs ago
The queer students nod, and look relieved someone is naming it
The cis hets look shocked and wonder what's been happening under their noses
