    When couples haven’t had sex

    in a long time they often feel hopeless and therapists often feel unsure how to help them. This presentation will explore how to shift couples from a state of sexual disconnection to an experience of erotic discovery.

    We will discuss how to understand common underlying dynamics as well as identify and transform narratives maintaining sexual avoidance. Included is how to conduct a culturally sensitive relational sexual history to develop counter-narratives that enhance erotic connection. 6 NYS & 6 AASECT CE Credits. With Suzanne Iasenza, PhD

    Once you recognize that a patient may have an eating disorder, do you know what should happen next? Eating-disorder treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Healthcare and community professionals must understand available treatment approaches, recognize when a higher level of care is needed, and help patients and families navigate appropriate next steps.

    Led by Marissa Sappho, LCSW, BCD, CEDS-S, founder of Aurora Behavioral Health, this four-session seminar provides a practical framework for understanding the treatment landscape, collaborating across disciplines, and facilitating appropriate referrals.
