The article highlights the significant gap in training that therapists have regarding human sexuality, emphasizing that many are not equipped to handle sexual concerns effectively. The authors suggest that societal ambivalence and misinformation about sex can infiltrate therapists' perspectives, often leading them to misinterpret patients' experiences. Clients should be cautious, knowing that therapists may label non-mainstream sexual interests as indicative of trauma rather than seeking to understand them. The piece advocates for a more nuanced dialogue between therapists and patients, emphasizing that generalizations about sexual behavior can be misleading.
Chances are, your therapist received almost no clinical training in human sexuality. In fact, there are very few human activities that therapists get less training in.
When you add in a strong dose of contemporary political correctness, would-be therapy customers need to be careful, especially if their concerns are sexual.
Instead of asking patients what it feels like to spank or be spanked, they may simply observe 'It sounds abusive to me, so I'll treat it like second-hand abuse.'
