Dr. Alex Katehakis Speaking Topics

  • Sexual Reflections: Practical Application Of The Katehakis Sex Therapy Model

    Keynote Speech at IITAP. The IITAP Symposium is an annual event in which members of the IITAP community gather to share ideas and learn of the latest research. Keynotes include experts in the field of trauma treatment and addiction.

  • Walking in Your Shoes: Tracking the Inherent Wisdom of the Body

    Sex addiction can be conceptualized as stereotyped, predictable behavioral patterns leading to a loss of complexity in the individual often due to dissociative structures born of childhood trauma. Many CSATs recognize the importance of moving into disowned areas in the client once they are maintaining sexual sobriety, but lack a roadmap for how to effectively proceed with treating underlying trauma. This experiential workshop will discuss and demonstrate a simple process known as Walking-In-Your-Shoes (WIYS). WIYS is a body/mind process co-developed by Alexandra Katehakis and a small team of therapists and actors in the early 1990’s. "We learned that anyone could do this work because the answers are in the inherent wisdom of the body."
