Description of Learning Type CE Event: (Prerequisite course: Ethics in Addressing Sexual Behavior *you must complete the prerequisite course prior to taking this course*). In order to address any behavior, we must have a plan, right? The same is true of sexual behaviors, and because many sexual mistakes or compulsions may lead to legal offenses, these plans have to be rock solid. This presentation covers planning for: Non-consensual touching; True Pedophilic behaviors; Age confusion that appears pedophilic to others; fetish behaviors and kink identities. Additionally, take a peek at several of Empowered: A Center for Sexuality’s original programs so you can get an idea of how this all plays out!
