Sex on the Therapy Couch: Working with Sex in the Therapeutic RelationshipIndaba Counselling
Counsellors can sometimes feel ill-equipped to engage with clients in this area, owing to a lack of training or their own unclear feelings around sex. This can inadvertently undermine clients feeling safe to openly discuss sexual concerns. The workshop addresses this and will encourage participants to explore how their own attitudes may impact a Person-Centred therapeutic relationship.
There can be many variations of this theme, so some clarification is offered below:
In counselling training, we are encouraged to examine our views and to raise our self-awareness around all manner of issues, such as loss, race, disability, difference and diversity, so as to be effective therapists. Much of sexual training focuses on sexuality and GLBT, and sexual abuse, while more general feelings about the act of sex itself is often neglected. This can leave counsellors less equipped to engage comfortably with client concerns, e.g. owing to personal embarrassment or shame, such that a client might then feel unsafe to openly discuss sexual apprehensions in their relationship or anxiety about having sex, not liking it, wanting it too much, being influenced by pornography, to name but a few areas of potential worry.
The presentation is thus intended to address theses issues by an examination of societies' views of sex, our own feelings about it, and finally we will link these to how all of this may subtly impact our client work.

DESCRIPTION
Young people with disabilities are often left out when teaching sexual health. Perhaps we believe they are incapable of comprehending the messaging or we assume they are asexual or uninterested in sexual intimacy. As a community, we believe we are underestimating both their capacity to understand their critical need to receive sexual health resources. Participants will leave this session with increased knowledge on the importance of teaching sexual health to young people with disabilities and tips on how to adapt existing curricula to work with this population.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. What do developing adolescents need for a
successful journey?
• Love and Guidance from their families.
• The experience of Friendship.
• Interest and concern from caring adults.
• A maturing relationship with God
3. A Changing Appearance
• Secondary sexual characteristics are changes in our bodies like facial hair for
boys or the development of breasts for girls. These changes make us more self-
conscious.
• We tend to become concerned with our changing appearance and ask questions like:
• Is it normal to develop earlier or later than other people?
• Is it normal for some parts of the body to grow more quickly than others?
• The answer is YES! The timing of changes during puberty and temporary
awkwardness still worry and sometimes embarrass us.
5. Body Image
• Puberty leads to increased self-awareness, which often causes self-
consciousness and a tendency to obsess over small imperfections.
• It’s normal to have some concerns about appearance, but we can’t fixate on
them. Anything that prompts people to fixate on themselves is usually harmful.
• Need to develop a sense of perspective about our appearance. Looks are only
one aspect of who we are!
6. Mood
• Hormones involved in sexual development have an effect on moods
and feelings.
• Moods are a state of mind that is experienced at a particular time. Ex.
Restless, miserable, happy, irritable, hopeful, distracted, relaxed,
anxious etc.
• Everyone experiences moods, however developing peoples moods tend
to come and go more often than adults.
7. Stress
• These changes in our lives can be stressful.
• More is expected of us at home and school.
• We have outside activities and social lives can be complex.
• Stress can cause a person to feel distracted, anxious, or irritable.
• A bad mood can also make everyday stresses, like school work or family
obligations, seem enormous
8. Ideas for Managing Stress and Mood
• Talk to someone you trust if something is really bothering you or
you can’t get rid of a bad mood. Everyone needs help sometime
and it’s a sign of strength to ask for it.
• Feeling annoyed? Don’t take it out on others. Spend some time
alone – listen to music, read a book or a magazine, go for a walk or
run, or take a short nap.
• Regular physical exercise is an excellent way to combat bad moods
and stress.
• Learn some relaxation methods – deep breathing, visualization,
yoga etc.
• Eat good food and get enough sleep.
• Don’t leave things to the last minute
9. Survey Says…
• Top Stresses for Grade 7/8 Students:
• 1. School (Tests, Homework, Projects)
• 2. Family Difficulties (Fights, Divorce etc.)
• 3. Presenting In Front of a Group.
• Ways they manage stress:
• 1. Listen to music
• 2. Talk to Someone (Parents, Friends)
• 3. Deep Breathing
10. Sexual Attractions and Feelings
• What attracts one person to another?
• Appearance has something to do with it, but attraction is based on
more than looks.
• An attraction between people is sometimes described as “chemistry”
– a strong connection that cannot be described in words.
11. Sexual Attraction and Sexual Feelings
• Sexual attraction as well as physical sensations and urges have a biological
purpose – To ensure the human species survives by reproducing itself.
• Sexual attraction and feelings have a purpose in God’s plan of creation: to bring
about a strong, bond between man and woman and to encourage them to have
children.
• Sexual Feelings:
• Differences between males and females:
• Males typically become aroused sexually more quickly than females.
• They also react strongly to visual images that involved sexuality – pictures, movies,
videos and websites.
12. Romantic Fantasies
• It’s natural for people to think about the kind of relationship they
might have in the future.
• Romantic fantasies are a way of preparing for future relationships.
• They help people handle some of their feelings in a safe and
uncomplicated way.
• Not good to spend most of our time daydreaming and imagining the
perfect relationship.
• May ignore other aspects of lives - developing as a person, friendships,
family relationships, schoolwork etc.
13. Sexual Fantasies
• Not about relationships, but about the physical experience of sex
• When something prompts a person to think about sex, the body responds by
becoming sexually aroused.
• There may be a strong urge to act on these feelings which may lead to
masturbation.
• Need to have self discipline.
• May lead to self-centredness, and makes it difficult for people to grow in maturity.
14. Sexual Fantasies Cont.
• They are normal.
• People can’t control the images that pop into their mind or the way the body
responds to these thoughts.
• A decision to act on these sexual feelings and abuse the gift of sexuality in a
self-centred way is wrong.
15. Pornography
• Term used for films, websites, magazines, pictures and other written materials
that are sexually explicit and are intended to cause sexual arousal.
• Some young people are motivated by curiosity to look at pornography.
• Curiosity is completely normal, but looking at images with the only purpose of
arousing sexual feelings, has no connection to love or relationship.
• In the eyes of the church this is morally wrong
• Very easy to become addicted to watching pornography.
16. Some Pornography Facts
• In 2014 it is estimated that the worldwide pornography industry earned at least
97 billion dollars.
• In 2006, there were 4.2 million websites containing pornography.
• Approximately 20% of all internet pornography is illegal child pornography.
• In an anonymous survey of teens, 96% had internet access and 55.4% indicated
that they had visited a sexually explicit website.
• More than twice as many males as females visit pornography websites.
17. Pornography Cont.
• Distorts the meaning and purpose of sexuality by portraying people as things to
be used for sexual pleasure.
• Often connects sexuality with power, aggression, and violence.
• Image of females as objects of violence and males as sexual aggressors is a
corrupt and dangerous vision of human sexuality.
• Damages view and understanding of relationships between males and females.
18.
19. Homosexuality
• It is a description of a person’s sexual orientation.
• A homosexual orientation is a predominant sexual
attraction to members of the same sex.
• A heterosexual orientation is a predominant sexual
attraction to the opposite sex.
• About 2-5% of the population is homosexual.
20. Why are some people Homosexual?
• Most likely due to a combination of genetic make-up as well as the influence of
their social environment.
• Regardless of the reason, in most cases, homosexuality is not something that is
deliberately chosen
Did you choose to be right/left
handed? Or were you born that
way?
21. Homosexuality Cont.
• Being attracted to a person of the same sex and having an intimate sexual
relationship are not the same thing.
• The church teaches that a homosexual orientation is not sinful, but sexual acts
between people of the same sex are morally wrong.
• This is also true for unmarried heterosexual people.
22. Remember!
• Masculinity and femininity are not defined by a person’s interests or behaviour.
• Negative comments about any aspect of a person’s sexuality (their body,
behaviour, appearance or interests) are unacceptable and harmful.
• We all need to realize that God’s plan for us is mysterious.
• All of us, heterosexual or homosexual, who are trying to live as good Christians,
struggle with our sexual feelings and desire for physical intimacy.
• All of us are called by God to honour and respect the gift of sexuality.
