The Silver School of Social Work at NYU is hosting an online webinar. This event is being led by Nikita Fernandes, LMHC, CST.
Learning objectives include:
• Identify and describe how grief and trauma impact sexual desire, relational patterns, and embodied intimacy through the lenses of attachment theory and somatic trauma models.
• Apply trauma-informed sex therapy interventions—including the Dual Control Model and sensate focus—to support clients navigating grief, loss, and trauma.
• Analyze the role of systemic oppression and marginalized identities in shaping experiences of grief, trauma, and sexuality, and integrate this understanding into inclusive, justice-oriented clinical practice.
Two continuing educational hours are available for social workers through ASWB. The cost is $75.
