Exploring cisnormativity with transgender and nonbinary clients

In this training, participants will delve into a deeper understanding of affirming therapy for transgender and nonbinary individuals. The focus will be on understanding and addressing cissexism, including cisnormativity, binary normativity, and transnormativity within therapeutic settings. We will discuss how this impacts the assumptions and expectations we hold about gender and our clients. Participants will be invited to consider how to interrupt cissexism and binary conceptualizations of gender/sex in therapy with clinical examples and case studies. Participants will leave with a greater understanding of the complexities surrounding gender diversity and will be equipped with practical tools to provide inclusive and affirming therapy.
