Lori Beth Bisbey, a London-based Accredited Advanced GSRD (gender, sex, relationship diversity) therapist, registered psychologist and sex, intimacy & relationship coach, is featured in an informative new eBook, Erotically Queer: A Pink Therapy Guide for Practitioners – set for release April 6 through Routledge/Taylor & Francis Group.
Bisbey’s chapter, “Examining Therapist Bias When Working with Kink”, explores the potential for practitioners’ negative preconceptions when working with people from the kink, fetish and BDSM communities, as well as a lack of knowledge that can hinder effective treatment.
Drawing on her years of real-world experience, Bisbey’s profound insights and recommendations offer practical guidance and an invaluable resource for clinicians seeking to expand their knowledge and improve their care towards those that present in these categories – whether they are seeking therapy for issues to do with sex and relationships or for issues entirely unrelated to their sexuality.
Erotically Queer: A Pink Therapy Guide for Practitioners aims to provide a comprehensive and informative resource for clinicians that cover a range of essential topics rarely discussed in mainstream or professional literature, such as lesbian sex, queer menopause, bisexuality, working with shame, the sex lives of asexuals and transgender people, compulsive sexual behaviors, chemsex and treating anodyspareunia.
Bisbey, currently in production on the second season of reality series Open House: The Great Sex Experience, is the author/co-author of several self-help books, including Dancing the Edge to Reclaiming Your Reality: Essential Life Skills for Gaslighting (and Trauma) Survivors, Chopping Wood, Shaping Metal and Other Erotic Stories, Dancing the Edge to Surrender: An Erotic Memoir of Trauma and Survival, Brief Therapy for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: Traumatic Incident Reduction and Related Techniques, Turning Points: How the Heart of Your Business is Formed in the Toughest of Times and VISIBILITY: Success Stories from Elite Leaders Making an Impact from the Stage.
She will also share her knowledge for two nights of LIVE speaking engagements on April 16 & 17 – The Psychology of Fetish and Kink – at London’s Market House, and April 19 at The Glee Club in Glasgow.
