Session Description: As mental health providers, we are invested in knowing our patients as whole people. We see how closely their psychological health is tied to their relationships, their work, their habits, social positions, cultural identities, and physiology. And we readily explore these aspects of their lives in service of improving their mental health. However, when it comes to the sexual aspects of patients’ lives, we often fall silent or avoid direct engagement and questions on the subject. We often treat these issues as irrelevant to the immediate presenting concern, or as matters for specialists, rather than core aspects of human psychological and social life.
