Are you a Counsellor, Therapist or Mental Health Professional who’s keen to manage GSRD couple and relationship work with confidence and sensitivity? If so, Pink Therapy’s GSRD Relationships (models and dynamics) online learning CPD module is an invaluable development tool.

Designed to promote the flexibility of thinking essential to deliver affirmative practice that recognises the unique nature of each couple and relationship, this module challenges you to move beyond conditioned assumptions about relationships while recognising the specific issues GSRD clients may face.

With in-depth insight into the complexities that impact GSRD relationship dynamics and a particular focus on developing clinical skills, you’ll be encouraged to consider how you can adopt creative techniques that meet GSRD clients’ need for an ally who won’t force their relationships into patterns that don’t fit.

Addressing the internal and external challenges GSRD clients face with their relationships including internalised pathologies and shame, shifting power dynamics and heteronormative influences from society, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of the issues you’ll encounter in the therapy room so that you can offer a bespoke clinical approach with a truly informed perspective.

If you select ‘Self study materials only’ you will receive the information for personal learning but won’t need to submit an assignment. If you select ‘Submit an assignment for Certificate Of Study’ you will submit an assignment that will be marked by one of our Faculty. If you pass the assignment, you’ll be issued with a Certificate Of Study from Pink Therapy for 15 hours of online learning. If you don’t pass, you will be given an opportunity to resubmit.

Description

This 15 hour CPD module offers you the opportunity to:

  • understand the impact of heteronormativity on a diverse range of GSRD relationships
  • develop awareness of the specific problems that impact GSRD relationships including the issues in coming out as a couple, the impact of homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and differing levels of cultural, community and wider family support
  • explore issues of difference within the context of the complex internalised pathologies and shame that can impact GSRD couple relationships
  • consider how complexities of intersectionality and diverse experiences of power and difference can affect GSRD relationship dynamics so that you can work effectively with individual identities and shared meaning in each unique relationship
  • consider how socio-cultural ideas, hetero-norms and problem saturated assumptions about GSRD relationships can impact therapeutic practice with couples and individuals
  • acknowledge and affirm the unique, resilient and creative relationship and sexual practices of GSRD clients so that you can offer an informed therapeutic approach
  • consider flexible, creative ways of working with GSRD relationships and examine your own clinical practice to identify your learning and development needs
