  • Sex positivity is having a mentality that everyone should have their own space to embody, explore, and learn about their sexuality and gender without any judgement and shame. It celebrates a healthy expression of sex and empowers people to define their sex lives on their own.

  • Treating folks of the LGBTQIA+ community as you will treat any other human being. I ask people for their pronouns when I meet them rather than assuming it based on the gender and I try to spread awareness in people around me.

  • It should help the clients decrease post-traumatic stress symptoms, as in it should begin with learning to apply techniques when the symptoms occur. The successful trauma therapy should be able to deal with the fears of the abuse and future relationship or triggering events. It can also improve their ability to recognise and respond effectively to unsafe or abusive situations.

  • It begins with an understanding of what problems a patient is experiencing and what has brought them to seek therapy. Information about what patients expect from therapy and what are the realistic goals for the patient. Taking care of basics such as confidentiality issues and scheduling of sessions are also discussed. The session ends with a brief summary of the issue, explanation of how we are going to work together and setting some goals for the client and me to achieve followed by some assignments and homework for the client to do.

    The therapy sessions after that are a combination of talk therapy and teaching clients techniques.
