Not Boring CEs

Therapists, Sex, & the Squirm

What Actually Counts as Ethical When It Comes to Talking About Sex in Therapy? Most of us were taught exactly three sentences about sex in grad school (and one of them was "Don't sleep with your clients"). In this eye-opening, radically honest episode, sex therapist Erica Miley joins us to bust myths, unpack ethical gray areas, and explore how our own discomfort with sex—thanks to trauma, shame, or woefully inadequate training—can impact the therapeutic relationship. We talk arousal non-concordance (yes, your body might react in session), what to do if a client discloses attraction to you (or you feel attracted to a client), and how to keep your brain safe when doing the hard work of trauma therapy. If you've ever whispered, "Is this ethical?" to yourself mid- session, this episode is for you.
