Description
Integrating Healthy Sexuality in Couples Therapy: A Clinical Approach
Presenter: Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT
Overview:
Sexuality is a cornerstone of intimate connection—but for many couples, it can become a source of conflict, distance, or shame. In this 2-hour clinical training, Chris Cambas, MA, LMFT, will guide participants through a framework that integrates neuroscience, attachment theory, and therapeutic interventions to help couples develop emotionally safe, meaningful, and connected sexual relationships.
From exploring how faith and values shape intimacy, to addressing barriers like mismatched desire or past trauma, this session provides actionable strategies for deepening connection in the most vulnerable part of the relationship.
Note: Although this training is geared toward clinicians and relationship coaches, couples are absolutely welcome to attend and benefit from the content together.
