Alex Iantaffi and Anne Mauro
This trauma-informed and social-justice centered Sexual Attitude Reassessment Seminar (SAR) provides 14 hours of direct, synchronous, structured learning designed to promote awareness of your attitudes, values, feelings and beliefs about a wide range of human sexual experiences, identities, and relational and erotic orientations, and to assist you in gaining insight into how these attitudes, values, feelings, and beliefs affect you professionally and personally.
The content-delivery is explicit in both media representation and in conversation. Learning occurs via instructors-led work, large-group presentation/activities, and small group discussions. This is a personal experience designed to invite you to reflect on where you’re coming from, what your triggers, prejudices, and biases might be, and how this impacts your professional identity development as a sex therapist, counselor, healthcare provider and/or educator. The SAR is also open to community members who want to better understand the broad range of human sexuality and how they relate to their own and other people’s positionalities and experiences.
The SAR is also a required workshop for all those who seek AASECT certification as educators, counselors and therapists.
This program is expected to meet the requirements of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and approval for 14 CE credits. These CE credits may be applied toward AASECT certification and renewal of certification. However, completion of this program does not ensure or guarantee AASECT certification. For further information about certification please contact info@assect.org.
By the end of the SAR participants will be able to:
Demonstrate awareness of personal attitudes, values, and beliefs regarding human sexuality and sexual behaviors through participation in a Sexual Attitude Reassessment (SAR) training.
Identify areas of personal comfort and/or discomfort regarding sexual behaviors and where that comfort and/or discomfort originates.
Understand how systemic power, privilege and oppression shapes our knowledge and experiences of sex and sexuality through the lenses of systemic power, privilege, and oppression in this SAR.
Develop an understanding of how people express and experience eroticism across the life span.
Identify how gender and sexuality might be impacted by caregivers and dominant social values during childhood and adolescence.
Describe their primary values-filters and how those filters inform their attitudes, values, feelings, and beliefs about sexuality/sexual behaviors.
Identify areas of sexuality where they may find inconsistency between their attitudes, values, feelings, and beliefs.
Apply critical media literacy skills when engaging with various forms of sexuality-related media.
Discuss a broad range of sexual identities, expressions and experiences with an increased level of comfort.
Develop a greater understanding of the sexual attitudes and values of people whose sexual interests/activities/experience and physical abilities are different from their own.
Identify areas of human sexuality where they hold biases that have the potential of interfering with their professionalism.
Identify and articulate their attitudes, values, feelings, and behaviors about a variety of gender, sexual, relational and erotic identities, as well as sexual behaviors and practices (e.g., sexual fetishes, BDSM/Kink, anal stimulation, aging, disability, group sex, masturbation, shared sexual behaviors, sexual ethics and consent).
Evaluate who they might consider "other", and why, within the contexts of sex and sexuality.
Assess areas within sex and sexuality where further training and/or personal work might be needed in order to serve a broader range of clients in more culturally attuned and affirmative ways.
It is essential to attend the whole SAR to get your CEs for AASECT accreditation.
