For those of us who have joined Rick for Day 1 of Male Sexual Healing and Recovery, please join us for Day 2!

The theory of day one transitions into practical strategies in day two, including:

• cognitive and psychodynamic engagement strategies in working with male survivors
• lectures, role plays, dramatic presentations and group discussion.
• the intrapsychic/interpersonal dynamics of dysfunction and trauma
• conceptualizing men’s rage and violence
• sexually dysregulated behaviours
• The day finishes on strengths-based therapeutic approaches and multi-faceted reflections of men’s healing
