Alumni Workshop explored wide range of sexual interests and relationship models with Kayna Cassard

On Friday, June 2, SCCC Alumna Kayna Cassard presented a two-hour workshop titled Working with the Kinks:Fetishes, Fantasies & Ethical Non-Monogamy for SCCC alumni, supervisors and current counselors.

Kayna is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Sex Therapist.  The workshop provided definitions, guidance, and practical approaches to working with the wide range of sexual interests, behaviors and “alternative” relationships that contemporary therapy clients engage in.  Kayna works and teaches from a sex-positive and affirming approach, providing a safe, open, and non-judgmental space to allow growth and honest conversations to occur.  She was able to help the attendees feel comfortable talking about sexual practices that they may be unfamiliar with and also to explore the personal reactions that may come up for counselors as they work with these issues.

The attendees were grateful to have an opportunity to learn more about this subject and many requested additional trainings on this and related topics.
