Everyone's Equity

Why Therapists Avoid Talking About Sex, and Why That Matters: Sexual Health with Tim White Part 2

Let’s be honest: most therapists weren’t trained well in sexual health. So what happens when clients bring it up? In this episode, Tim White and I explore discomfort, avoidance, and how to move toward more confident, ethical, and impactful conversations. Join us for part 2 in our sexual health series.

Sexual Health with Tim White

Our next episode starts a series on sexual health with Tim White. He specializes in sex therapy, relationship trauma therapy, sex addiction, and sexual health. We go through the 6 major principles of sexual health, and break them down so therapists can apply them to their own practices. As you'll see, Tim's knowledge and experience in working with sexual health is very impressive. At the same time, we try to make this conversation fun. We believe talking about sex shouldn't be awkward or embarrassing, and we approach this series from that stance. Whatever your beliefs and values are around sexual health, I'm sure there's something for everyone here. Enjoy!

Everyone's Equity

If “treat everyone the same” worked, it would’ve worked by now. In this episode, Joyce Jacquote, Dr. Felicia Holloway, and I talk about what it really means to be equitable. From tests that favor one prototype, to what everyone needs, we give ideas on what equality really means any how we can get there. Our field is prime for approaching this area. Our convictions ought to extend beyond the couch of therapy and into the world of everyone's needs. Enjoy this episode.

The beauty of Inclusion with Luce O'Brigid.

Angela Hayes and I continue our DEIJ series with Luce O'Brigid. Luce has a deep philosophy of Inclusion that speaks to all people, heaven, and ourselves as therapists. The conviction in Luce's beliefs of inclusion are inspiring, contagious, and humbling. As people who work with people, this episode speaks directly to us. What an important area of DEIJ, our profession, and of what it means to be a people of inclusivity. Enjoy this episode!

Sex Addiction with Jeffrey Coira

What's the difference between being addicted sex or drugs? How do we even define addiction? How does addiction start in someone's life? Jeffrey, who specializes in sex therapy, helps us talk through these questions. He also leads us through gaming addiction, social media addiction, and the overarching philosophy behind being addicted. As therapists, this episode is broadly useful to our clients and to what people are living with in their addictions. Enjoy this talk with Jeffrey.
