Sex as a Safe Adventure: Connecting Sexually and Emotionally Through Emotionally Focused Therapy

with Zoya Simakhodskaya, Ph.D. and Michael Moran, LCSW, CST  

Live Online Workshop via Zoom

October 4th - 6th 2023

10:00 AM - 3:00 PM EST


Do your clients in relationships present with complaints of sexual issues, such as:


  • Discrepancies in desire
  • Boredom in the bedroom
  • Discovery of out of control sexual behaviors
  • Arousal or orgasmic problems
  • Sexual challenges after having children
  • Trouble after infidelity or in the wake of trauma


From the perspective of Emotionally Focused Therapy, such complaints are often part of an underlying lack of security and bond in the relationship caused by the negative cycle between partners. At times, as the partners de-escalate and become more secure, sexual issues remain unresolved. Yet, many EFT therapists lack sex assessment and intervention knowledge and skills.


This workshop is designed to give you a strong foundation where sexual issues are the presenting problem in relationship therapy. An introduction to up-to-date research on current models of sexuality will be presented. You will learn how to assess both the negative relational cycle and the sexual cycle so you can skillfully work using EFT interventions with both cycles to help your clients move to de-escalation. This workshop will also address how to integrate psycho-education and simple behavioral sex therapy interventions as partners move into Stage 2 while simultaneously building a secure bond through increased vulnerability. We will also address sexual concerns in non-traditional relationships (ethical non-monogamy, kink, diverse sexual expressions). This workshop will include a lecture, video examples, and experiential exercises.
