Erika and Dr. Rachel Needle, psychologist, certified sex therapist, co-director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes, and doer of all the things, talk about the importance of being educated about sexual health; especially for those who are in the helping and medical fields. They focus on questions like: What kind of client testimony can give the impression that a therapist wasn’t properly trained in, or hasn’t been exposed to enough, sexual health education? And, what can happen for therapists when they feel inadequate about sex?

Equality has been called for, it's time for us to make it right, fair, and just. Full show notes here.
