Seeing the Blind Spots: Exploring How You Think About and Experience Gender Diversity

with Shawn V. Giammattei, PhD 
Workshops

Seeing the Blind Spots: Exploring How You Think About and Experience Gender Diversity

We are all on a gender journey, whether we are aware of it or not.  Recognizing our experiences and cultural narratives around gender helps us understand how we think about gender diversity and better understand the influences of our own gender privilege and marginalization. 
 
In this training, Dr. Shawn V Giammattei will help you navigate an experiential personal journey involving the key person-of-the-therapist exploration that is necessary for gender affirmative work. The exercises in this training will help you unpack and deconstruct your own gender identity, gender development, and cultural narratives around gender and uncover potential areas of privilege you may hold.
​
When you explore these constructs for yourself, you come to an understanding around gender and sexuality that makes it much more difficult to treat gender diverse people like the “other,” and helps you meet your transgender & nonbinary clients and their families in a socioculturally attuned and collaborative way. You will walk away from this training with a better understanding not only of yourself, but also of the experience of your gender diverse clients and the impact of the questions you ask.
