Anyone doing the #IFS Immersion course thru #PESI? Starting the recorded training today.
My favorite simple intro to the concepts is the "Parts Work: An Illustrated Guide to Your Inner Life" book by Tom Holmes, PhD & Laurie Holmes, MSW, as well as the Inner Active Cards. Of course the "No Bad Parts" by Richard Schwartz is a must but when explaining to clients the illustrated tools are very useful.

If you haven't already, watch #Nimona What an incredible, beautiful, heartbreaking allegory on the transgender experience in today's society. #CounselorsOfMastodon #counseling #counselingofmastodon #therapistsofmastodon #netflix #transgenderRepresentation

the programme for today and tomorrow #pinkconf23 #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

Now Julie Sale speaking about erotic diversity in heterosexuality, its so important to understand the difference between heterosexuality and heternormativity - non consensual "queering" of erotically diverse cis het groups has bothered me for a while, esp when queer ppl do it #pinkconf23 #TherapistsofMastodon

running the online side of day 1 of the Pink Therapy annual conference, and the first presentation is a powerful one on the use of narrative therapy to empower queer women to explore and embrace their sex and erotic lives . If you are attending #pinkconf23 say hi, i am in the patchwork dungarees #lgbtq #queer #TherapistsofMastodon

Day 3 of the Pink Therapy think tank, with attendees from New Zealand to New York and sessions covering cultural competency with gsrd/neuroqueer folks, writing our own ethical framework for gsrd clinicians, what makes a gsrd therapist and how we take better care of ourselves...and it's not over yet! This is going to be genuinely world changing #nonbinary #lgbtq #actuallyAutistic #therapy #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

incredibly exciting week ahead with the Pink Therapy think tank and Conference- I have done the vital prep of batchcooking summer vegetable soup and garlic chicken curry for the household in my absence #cooking #food #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

some thoughts after attending the Rainbow Therapists conference this weekend https://counsellinginnorthumberland.com/2023/06/12/somewhere-over-the-rainbow/ #pride #PrideMonth #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect

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 #

leading a workshop on removing barriers when therapists work with sex workers today (focusing in internalised prejudices and unconscious bias) If anyone else is at the Rainbow Therapists conference say hi! #TherapistsofMastodon #therapistsconnect #Pride #PrideMonth #SexWork

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
