One more thing Jen Young, MFT Intern, wrote down at Mile High Love Fest, this time from Jasmin McKenna:

“No conversations about us, without us.”

There is a difference between making something for a community and building it with people from that community.

Professionals can have training, good intentions, and plenty of information and still miss something that is obvious to the people actually living the experience.

That can matter in therapy, s*x education, relationship resources, community programs, and even in deciding which questions are worth asking.

Who was part of shaping the conversation in the first place?

Another note Jen Young, MFT Intern, brought home from Mile High Love Fest:

“S*x education is not accessible to those with disabilities.”
- Samantha Slawson

That is bigger than whether a handout is easy to read.

S*x education includes learning about consent, boundaries, bodies, relationships, communication, safety, and pleasure. When that information is not created in ways people with disabilities can actually access and use, they are being left out of conversations that directly affect their lives.

And that raises a harder question than “Do we offer this information?”

Who was it actually made for?

Inside Embraced Therapy: What happens when you reach out?

If you've never contacted a therapist before, it can be hard to know what happens after you hit "send."

At Embraced Therapy, many people start with a free 15-minute Therapy Options Call with Sharon. You can give her a general idea of what you're looking for and ask questions about our clinicians, scheduling, cost, and whether you prefer in-person or online therapy.

You do not need to tell your whole story on this call.

If you decide to schedule, your first therapy session gives you and your therapist time to talk about what brought you in and what you want help with.

You do not have to explain everything at once.

Jen Young and Hakeem S. Allen, MFT Interns, are currently accepting new clients under the supervision of Angela Shelley, LMFT.

In-person appointments are available in Denver, with online therapy available throughout Colorado.

One of the things Jen Young wrote down at Mile High Love Fest came from Fawn O'Breitzman's session:
“All bodies are beautiful. All bodies are worthy of love and pleasure.”
That sounds simple. It isn't always easy to believe about your own body.
Body image can follow us into intimacy in quiet ways. Wanting the lights off. Worrying about how a partner sees us. Avoiding being touched or seen. Feeling like pleasure belongs to a different kind of body.
Jen works with people around intimacy, shame, desire and disconnection, so this was one of those lines that stayed with her after the weekend.
If some of this feels familiar, it doesn't have to become a public conversation. Therapy can be one private place to start talking about it.

We asked Jen what she was taking away from her time at Mile High Love Fest.

One reason we encourage our clinicians to participate in events like this is simple: the people therapists hope to serve should influence the conversations happening inside therapy practices.

Jen works with adults and partners around relationships, intimacy, communication, s*xual concerns, shame, desire differences, and life and relationship transitions.

She is currently accepting new clients at Embraced Therapy under the supervision of Angela Shelley, LMFT.
