SUMMARY:🆕 BRAND-NEW! Pleasure in the Treatment Room 🆕
DESCRIPTION:Brand-New!\nMeets Law & Ethics\, Health Equity\, Cultural Competence\, and/or Professional Roles & Boundaries Continuing Education Requirements!\nPleasure in the Treatment Room\nPresented by Rebecca Bloom\, LMHC (she/her)\nWhen: Friday\, October 9th\, 2026 | 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Pacific Time\nWhere: Live on Zoom. You will receive your Zoom link/invitation the week of the workshop.\nContinuing Education Credit Hours (NBCC and NASW-WA Approved): 6 CEs (meets criteria for 2 Law & Ethics\, 3 Health Equity or Cultural Competence CEs\, and/or 2 Professional Roles & Boundaries CEs) | Cost: $199.00\nContinuing Education Workshop Description:\nHow do we talk about pleasure in the treatment room? Do you feel comfortable talking with your clients about intimacy? How do we talk about what we desire and what we want to say “No” to? In this 6-CE continuing education workshop\, we will explore all of this and more — using the most current research and writings on Sex Therapy as the foundation for the workshop. \nOver the past twenty-five years\, Rebecca’s clinical work has centered on helping adult survivors of complex trauma reclaim safety\, agency\, and connection after profound experiences of betrayal and harm. Much of this work has involved sitting with the realities of developmental trauma\, attachment wounds\, and the long-lasting effects of abuse perpetrated by trusted individuals. \nAs the presenter begins integrating intimacy and couples counseling more intentionally into my practice\, she has become increasingly aware of how essential conversations about pleasure\, embodiment\, and desire are within trauma treatment. Our clients often learn how to endure\, protect\, and disconnect long before they are given permission to explore what feels good\, nourishing\, or truly wanted—to discover what brings them pleasure. \nRebecca’s theoretical foundation has been strongly informed by post-graduate training and completion of Levels One and Two at the Sensory Psychotherapy Institute. Using this sensory-informed approach during the workshop\, we will explore safe ways for your clients to discuss what their bodies and minds want most—what is pleasurable to them. \nWe will take time to really look at human physiology and how each of our parts work. This approach emphasizes mindfulness\, nervous system awareness\, and the importance of tracking bodily experience as part of healing. \nWhen clients begin to slow down through mindfulness and sense perception\, they often discover that they have limited experience identifying what they genuinely want. By helping clients attend to sensory experiences in the present moment\, therapists can support the development of curiosity\, self-trust\, and emotional regulation. This process creates space for clients to recognize preferences\, boundaries\, pleasure\, and longing in ways that may have previously felt inaccessible or unsafe. \nWe will also explore issues that complicate desire. The most common topics among these that come up in the treatment room include nonmonogamy\, kink\, how our bodies work\, pornography\, family systems and beliefs\, and societal messaging. \nRather than approaching intimacy solely through cognition or narrative processing\, helping clients remain grounded and present in their bodies creates opportunities for deeper self-understanding and relational connection. Embodied awareness can become a pathway not only toward healing trauma\, but also toward cultivating intimacy that feels authentic\, consensual\, and alive. \nContinuing Education Workshop Objectives:\nLearning Goals for “Pleasure in the Treatment Room”: \n\nDefining pleasure and intimacy.\nDiscovering psychosocial aspects of desire\, gender\, and kink.\nUnderstanding medical conditions that impair sexual functioning.\nComprehending common sexual challenges in relationships.\nExploring issues regarding the use of pornography.\nUnderstanding contemporary models for treatment of sexual problems.\n\nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n

This scientifically proven program\, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn\, PhD\, has been shown to reduce stress\, decrease chronic pain\, and increase personal well-being. \nThe next MBSR series will meet for 8 weeks on Monday evenings both in person and online from 6:30 – 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. Fall class dates are October 12 through November 30. \nEmail Brenda at ournewexperiences@gmail.com for more information. \nAbout the MBSR Course\nIn this 8-week MBSR course\, you’ll practice techniques and develop skills based on the latest neuroscience to effectively manage and reduce stress. Research findings indicate that when practiced regularly\, skills developed in this course can literally rewire the brain\, resulting in improved health and overall well-being. \nRoutinely living life on autopilot\, being unaware of how stressed out we are\, does not serve us well. Our body\, mind\, and soul pay an increasingly high price\, indicated by symptoms of compromised physical\, mental\, emotional\, and psychological health. \nScientifically-proven benefits of MBSR include:\n\n\nLowered stress levels \n\n\nReduced chronic pain (back pain\, headaches\, hypertension\, etc.) \n\n\nDecreased worry\, anxiety\, and depression \n\n\nFewer sleep problems \n\n\nImproved emotional regulation \n\n\nSharpened mental focus and enhanced attention \n\n\nImproved immune system functioning \n\n\nHelp with life-threatening medical illnesses \n\n\nMore satisfying relationships \n\n\nBetter ability to cope with grief and loss \n\n\nSupport for recovery from substance abuse \n\n\nIncreased joy\, resilience\, and compassion \n\n\nIn the MBSR course\, you will learn meditation practices to develop mindfulness\, also referred to as present-moment awareness.  Through instruction and daily practice\, you will develop the capacity to notice when you’re stressed out and learn skills to take better care of yourself\, minimize the negative effects of stress in the moment\, and experience greater well-being. \nThe MBSR class offers instruction in:\n\n\nmindfulness meditation (sitting and walking) \n\n\nmindfulness practices for daily life \n\n\nbody awareness \n\n\nmindful yoga \n\n\nself-reflective inquiry \n\n\n​You’ll be supported throughout the program to develop your own mindfulness practice to sustain you long after this class ends. \nMBSR Course Details\nSessions: This class consists of 8 class sessions\, a 6-hour retreat\, and daily home practices. Instruction materials for the class are emailed or sent via US Post. \nFEE & REGISTRATION\nTuition for the class is: \n$395 +tax and fees. \n$470 with CE +tax and fees. \nProfessionals can earn up to 26 Continuing Education Credits for an additional $75 CE Credits (therapists\, counselors\, social workers\, RNs\, CDPs\, NDs\, translators\, and WA court interpreters). \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
