Addiction 101
This Workshop is Instructed by:
Dr. Carol Clark & Dr. Robert Weiss
Explore the history of addiction, from drugs and alcohol to gambling to s*x to all things internet-related.
It will conceptualize addiction as an overall process, rather than people being addicted “to” something. The relationship between addiction and early internal incorporation of negative messages will be explained. The phenomenon of resistance to the concepts of “s*x addiction” and “codependence” will be explored contextually. Finally, recovery will be defined as not just recovery from addiction, but as recovery of Connection. Recovery strategies and tools will be provided.

| S*xuality & Substance Abuse
S*x is keyed into our limbic systems, which controls our survival, our emotions, our reward system, and our memories. Our limbic system is vulnerable to the effects of substance use/abuse, since mind-altering substances such as cocaine, heroin, and hallucinogens first affect the reward system and then stores the pleasurable effects in memory, which leads to cravings and addiction. The intersection of sexuality and substance use occurs when we use drugs while having s*x, which exponentially intensifies the pleasure of both; when we use drugs to a point where our ability to engage in s*xual behavior is impaired; or when we use drugs to escape memories of traumatic s*xual experiences. This workshop will explore and explain the many points of this intersection and describe interventions for developing healthy sexual feelings and behavior in recovery from addiction.

| Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
The pelvic health physiotherapy elective will give practitioners a wider understanding of the pelvis, specifically the pelvic floor and its role within sexual health and dysfunction. The hope is that by the end of the 5 hour elective you will have an understanding of what a pelvic health physiotherapist does in practice and when to refer patients. The elective will emphasize the importance of working on a team in sexual health treatment to provide the best care for patients.
