Unpacking Gender - Day 1
8 Lessons -
This is a 2-Day hands-on, experiential training for therapists who work with transgender, non-binary, gender expansive people and their families. It involves key person-of-the-therapist exploration necessary for gender affirmative work involving unpacking and deconstructing your own gender identity, gender development, and cultural narratives around gender, uncovering potential areas of bias and developing tools to manage those in a therapeutic relationship.
You will receive an experiential, first-hand experience of unpacking and deconstructing gender for yourself, interactive discussions to uncover the cultural narratives that influence your beliefs around gender, and a witnessing of the experience of other gender narratives. We will all explore the bias inherent in our beliefs and how to manage and use these in sessions. You will walk away from this workshop understanding acutely the experience of the transgender, non-binary and gender expansive client they work with and the impact of the questions they ask.
In brief, you will be engaging in experiential exercises over the course of 2 days that will help you uncover, unpack, and deconstruct your personal gender journey, discovering your own story and cultural narratives that influence you, the potential biases that inform your work, tools to manage these, and much more...

The exercises on understanding bias, but also the open dialogue among clinicians around their own struggles, their areas of vulnerability, skills they use and being able to talk through ways to think about our work that will serve our patients and us.

I found the breakout rooms helpful in gaining a deeper understanding of some of the challenges other parents/caregivers were experiencing vis a vie their loved ones, and how best to advocate on their behalf. It also allowed time to dive deeper into the topic being discussed. For me, I like to get into the weeds and essence and have found that can be difficult at times with a large group.

The preparatory homework was really helpful as was the pre-workshop webinar that i viewed as a recording. i watched most of it. the pre workshop activities helped me get familiar with the material and help myself to get into a helpful headspace. As a provider, the most helpful parts of the workshop were when i listened to and participated with other providers. It was so great to have a space where I could bring my whole self professional and personal. There was a level of vulnerability that felt really good and I’m not sure if that’s something that can be recreated but it was so helpful. I did also get a lot our of the opportunity to learn from parents/caregivers without having them be my patients’ family members!!

The pre-work exercises, the small group discussions (especially the gender/sexual orientations with just 2 people, we were really able to go deep), discussions around bias and privilege.

The way it was organized and the ability to both get information and to do the work looking at my own gender history and biases that I was unaware of existing.
Beth M.
The small group discussions were very helpful. I appreciated hearing from both parental and clinical views on subjects of gender biases and leveraging privilege. I also found the materials presented to be very useful in framing the topics discussed. Finally, Dr. Giammatei’s exceptional navigation of nuanced and emotionally-laden topics was an honor to witness and learn from.
