Current Thinking in GSRD Therapy
Current thinking in GSRD Therapy is the first part of a 2-day workshop with Silva Neves, who will present the essential knowledge therapists need to have to practice confidently and efficiently with clients with gender, sex, sexuality and relationship diversity (GSRD). You can attend just this workshop or you can attend both workshops, it is entirely up to you. If you would like to book both days please also book GSRD – Queerness and Polyamory .
Over the years, offering therapy with a GSRD focus was a set of “special theories for a special population” but as the modern population self-identifies with more diverse gender, sexual and relationship identities, GSRD therapy has now become a modality of its own.
