ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Dr. Laurie Watson, LMFT, has her PhD in Sexology, is an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and is further certified in and a supervisor for Couples Emotionally Focused Therapy. She has focused for 24 years exclusively on couples and sexual problems in her clinical work.

As an educator, she has taught sexual attachment to therapists world-wide and for physicians at Duke and UNC Chapel Hill’s medical schools. She’s an expert advisor for many NC Ob/GYN and Urological practices in her home state. She owns and directs Awakenings Center for Couples and Sex Therapy in NC and oversees over 38 clinicians, who she has trained in the integration of sex and couples therapy. Her doctoral dissertation was on using EFT to repair the sexual connection in couples who are experiencing one partner’s breast cancer and its devastation and the sundry ravages of treatment on the sexual relationship.

In addition to the podcast, Laurie is a content creator on sexuality as author of Wanting Sex Again – How to Rediscover Desire and Heal a Sexless Marriage (Berkley Books of Penguin, USA, 2012) and as a blogger at Psychology Today and WebMD with >40 million downloads.

​Diversity Statement: This presentation is informed by the ICEEFT statement and commitment to anti-racism. Specifically, this training includes an assessment focus on the CARE model outlined by Johnson & Campbell (2022), which guides therapist to evaluate attachment, emotion, and therapist alliance issues within the context of ethnicity, culture, and social location of families. Various examples are used through the training to illustrate the application of EFFT to families representing different social contexts.
