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 #

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
