Sexuality and Shame

The Women's Building
San Francisco, CA

Sexual shame is one of the biggest challenges that sexuality educators face. The more we understand about how it works, the easier it is to develop strategies for responding to sexual shame. Charlie Glickman PhD will discuss the roots of shame, how it can both serve and hinder us, the ways that shame is used to reinforce social rules, and the differences between toxic shame and pro-social shame. As a group, we will discuss the tools that sexuality educators can use to bring compassion, understanding and healing to people working through sexual shame.

Objectives: By the end of this session, the participants will be able to:
Describe two ways that shame is used to enforce social rules
Identify two ways that sexuality educators can help people heal from shame
