The Desire Dilemma- The Science of Sex is a weekly 3 month, 16.5 CE peer consultation group addressing sexual desire discrepancy or mismatch in working with couples. The group will include psychoeducation and small group breakout activities, as well as clinical consultation. We will use Emily Nagoski’s Come as You Are as our guiding text to explore tools to implement with individuals or couples looking to address desire and intimacy. Each group will explore one chapter of the text and 1-2 case consultations from group members. Learning Objective 1: Participants will learn how to define responsive and spontaneous desire and the differences between them.
