Update: 2016-07-15
Description
According to the World Health Organization, sexual health is a state of physical, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality. The purpose of integrative sexual health care is therefore to examine the various factors that negatively impact a person's life, and focus on ways to treat the whole person. Along with conventional treatments, integrating mind-body approaches decrease sexual-emotional distress and improve a person's general well-being. The goal for this presentation is to disseminate practical applications on the mind-body approaches in sex therapy. It will provide health care professionals a general introduction on complementary and integrative therapies as well as lifestyle skills for treating sexual health related problems. Treatments such as mindfulness, massage therapy, acupuncture, nutritional support, yoga, and meditation will be discussed. Participants will learn how to translate the findings into their clinical practice.
