This course prepares you

Sensate Focus seems like a simple intervention, but there is a lot of nuance that can lead to challenges for clients if the therapist is not prepared. This course helps to ensure that therapists are prepared to address any difficulties clients may encounter with Sensate Focus.

Worth your time and money

This will vastly change my work with couples coming in for sex therapy. It is actionable but also really gets at communication, which can be the harder part to get the couples to invest in during sessions. This course is worth your time and money.

For new and seasoned therapists

This course is an excellent comprehensive guide to Sensate Focus for clinicians-- it would be helpful for clinicians for whom Sensate Focus is entirely new as well as for those looking for a refresher or to increase the depth of their knowledge about Sensate Focus (like me!).

Adds a layer of confidence

This well-designed training course was clear and straightforward, highly professional and research-based. Knowledge from this training adds a layer of confidence and proficiency to the couples therapy I provide which has previously been too-much-neglected. I look forward to future trainings. Highly recommended!

One of the best online courses

This is a thoroughly thought out CEU course that was enjoyable and professionally made. It was one of the best online courses for training I have taken.

Comprehensive and easy to understand

I see a need for a Sensate intervention with a lot of my clients and the postgraduate course I did glossed over it without providing practical steps. This was a comprehensive, easy to understand, and approachable webinar on Sensate. I feel completely prepared to utilize this evidence-based intervention with my clients.

Meet Your Instructor:
Dr. Jordan Rullo

Hi! I’m Jordan Rullo. I’m a Board-Certified Clinical Health Psychologist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Supervisor, and Certified Gottman Therapist. I’ve dedicated my career to helping couples with sexual struggles.

Having trained at The Kinsey Institute and the Institute for Sexual and Gender Health, conducted clinical research on couples’ sexual relationships, and published over two dozen peer-reviewed articles on sexual health, I understand the importance of effective and evidence-based clinical interventions.

When I learned Sensate Focus over 15 years ago, I learned it the wrong way. As a result, I never found it to be an especially helpful tool. After learning how to do it the right way, it revolutionized my sex therapy practice. I'm excited to share these tools with you. I hope you find this protocol as helpful as I have!
