SUMMARY:Navigating Intimacy & Interpersonal Relationships in Counseling
DESCRIPTION:As counselors\, we have an ethical imperative to provide 
 clients with mental health counseling through a sex-positive and affirming 
 framework (Alexander\, 2019\; Augustine\, 2023). A part of that process is 
 providing a clinical space that is safe to discuss intimacy and 
 interpersonal relationships openly (Alexander\, 2019\; Pope et al. 2024). 
 As such\, clinicians need to possess an expansive understanding of what 
 intimacy can look like and be able to support clients who may also need to 
 figure out what their boundaries and needs are surrounding intimacy and 
 interpersonal interactions (Pope et al. 2024).\n\nIn this presentation\, 
 participants will learn that intimacy encompasses emotional\, physical\, 
 psychological\, spiritual\, and/or sexual experiences and interactions with 
 oneself or others (Pope et al. 2024). Dr. Lytle will provide examples of 
 what each of these types of intimate experiences might look like and 
 provide opportunities for participants to share examples as well. Dr. Lytle 
 will discuss the importance of counselors having emotional self-awareness 
 and being able to self-regulate as they learn about their own levels of 
 comfort with intimacy and interpersonal interactions\, and how they might 
 inform their therapeutic relationships with clients. Finally\, Dr. Lytle 
 will identify tangible ways for counselors to expand their knowledge and 
 support clients in their understanding of intimacy and interpersonal 
 relationship dynamics (Augustine\, 2023).\n\nPresented by Juliana Lytle\,
