THOUGHTS BEHIND THE EDUCATIONS – SEX, LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS! 

As a modern woman with a vibrant and active sex life, I ask myself: Is it ok to have a sex life? Yes, of course society responds…! But is it actually possible to talk about sex without giggling a little? 

We are part of a society where the sex education presented to our children and young people is mediated by teachers who are not trained sexologists – is that ok? We say No at the School of Sexology – and that is why we have also launched the Didactic Sexologist Education, a superstructure to the Sexologist Education. So that the teachers we send out in primary and secondary schools actually know what they are talking about and are trained for it for at least 2 years! They are comfortable with what they convey and have chosen to be in the role of sex educator. It provides high-quality sex education – and is a real quantum leap in the field. We believe our children and young people deserve the best, and in such an important area as sex, love, communication and relationships! 

How aware are we really, when it comes down to it, of what goes on in the body, mind, etc. when we have sex? Is the vagina really a natural and respected part of life? Is it wrong if we love exotic sex? Is it still the practical approach where children are the end result that is the most respected “sex”? I say no! 
Let’s push the phrases a little and dare to stir the pan a little. Is there anything sexier than having children, and isn’t good old-fashioned love also one of the best aphrodisiacs? Is sex something that takes place in your tens, twenties and thirties? And should it be pushed forward, like an old ranger, when we get into the forties and fifties ….? 
What is sexy and arousing for the 50-year-old man looking at his naked wife – is it her familiar scent, the warmth in her eyes, is it the secret between them? Sex is passion. And passion is a bit of a science – one that you can learn, but should also be forgotten again when you live it! 
Conclusion: Sex is definitely “IN”. It is the direct gateway from the man to the woman, from the woman to the man, the man to the man, and the woman to the woman. There are many types of good sex, there are many couple constellations and ways to live your love life. We look at this in the Sexologist and Couples Therapist programmes. 

 “All living people have a sexuality, but not all people have a living sexuality” – Quote Yazmin Fox Eisen. 

THE TWO INSEPARABLE V’S – EQUAL AND SIDE BY SIDE

The educations to become Sexologists and Couples Therapists include both the Scientific facts with recent research in the field mediated by a hand-picked staff of doctors, midwives, nurses, psychologists, etc. and all the undeniable and necessary wisdom found in the old traditional health systems such as the Sexologist and Couples Therapist. Ayurveda and Erotic Tantra. 

We have found and put together a staff of 68 teachers, who we consider to be some of the best teachers in each of the many areas – with the aim of being able to offer modern, innovative, interdisciplinary “up to date” high-quality educations, which have been missing for far too long. 

The Educations for Int. Sexologist and RelationshipTherapist each last 1 – 1 ½  year, which is divided into 13 modules of 3 days each, mostly Friday-Sunday. Meeting times are Friday and Saturday at 9.00-17.00 and Sunday at 9.00-15.00, Danish Time (CET). 

The Teams in Global Line is a mix of students from different countries in the World. Mny come visit during the educations, here in Denmark – and many students visit each other in their specific countries, during or after the education. They get to know each other and build the basis for a future network, collaboration, and lifelong friendship. We have many of our trained therapists who collaborate across countries, have deep friendships – and even couples “born” at IAS 🙂   

Each Education requires self-therapy & supervision, participation in study groups and that you have study clients along the way. At Int. Sexologist there is a written + oral exam. At Int. RelationshipTherapist there is an oral exam.

The education plan and literature list for all the education programs are provided on Module 1, day 1.

We recommend that students enroll in the Int. Forum ASRT – which is for Int. Sexologists and Int. RelationshipTherapists.

WELCOME TO THE NORDIC REGION 

On the educations to become a sexologist and couples therapist, we have thrown out the “law of jante” and invited the Nordic countries and the world in. We want to reach out – both beyond the Danish borders and beyond what has otherwise been seen. 

Our experience is that the vibrant collaboration with the other Nordic countries gives the individual student the opportunity to build an enriching Nordic network, build friendships and professional relationships, which often lead to deeper relationships and professional cooperation. At the Sexology Festival this year in Oslo, Sexologists from both Norway, Denmark and Sweden – even the United States – participate. 

TEACHERS & EVALUATION 

The teachers on the programmes are carefully selected from what we consider to be some of the best in the field in the teaching areas they each represent. We currently have. 68 teachers affiliated with the School of Sexology, from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, France, the United States, etc. The individual student is evaluated for each teaching day, and the teachers are supervised. 

HOW THE PROGRAMS STANDS OUT– AND HOW THEY DIFFER 

In the educations to become a sexologist and couples therapist, we unite Science and Wisdom. The two V’s stand side by side” – equal and inseparable. We bring together the best from the two “camps”, just as many of the teachers through their educational background – doctor/psychotherapist, midwife/acupuncturist, nurse/nutritional therapist etc. – are interdisciplinary professionals. We are the first to focus on the body through healthy diet and nutrition. We take an extra look at lifestyle and daily exercise, awakening of the senses, etc. In both cases, because it is the whole person we are working with – and because what is good for the body is also good for sex, reproduction, fertility and love.” For example, if we have to get up at 6:00 in the morning to run and be fresh, present and initiating deep conversations and sex at 10:30 p.m. – then we have to take very good care of our body and give it some real nutrition and a healthy lifestyle! 

Working with Student Clients along the way and receiving supervision benefits the individual student and inspires the other students when supervising in class. In this way, the graduated Sexologist & Couples Therapist knows what to do when the exam is in house, as the experience with client work has already begun and questions about premises, PR, pricing, etc. have already been clarified. This is one of the reasons why the Sexology School’s trained Therapists do so well and many are full-time employed. 

The educations for Sexologist and Couples Therapist include self-therapy/ Supervision 1 to 1. Thus, the participants also go through a personal process, development and transformation during the educations and they are supervised individually, so that they are firmly in the role of modern sexologists and couples therapists. On the one hand, the Self-Therapy/Supervision course matures and makes the individual more aware, and on the other hand, the course gives the participants a professional confidence to fulfill the role of modern Sexologist and Couples Therapist. The students also receive Self-Therapy and Supervision in groups. 

OUR GOAL 

There is a great demand for skilled sexologists and couples therapists in the Nordic countries – in the world, and many have opened their eyes – and want to educate themselves. Many Psychologist Houses and Health Centres today house Sexologists and Couples Therapists from the School of Sexology, several headhunted before they have even graduated. Our goal is to create – and give Denmark/Norway/Sweden – the world, the best possible Sexologists & Couples Therapists and Specialists. Modern Sexologists, Couples Therapists and Specialists, who are extremely competent and know where the modern person’s real problems lie in sex life and relationships – and they know how to solve these. We will delve below the surface, where deep sexological and couples therapy insight and broad knowledge are absolutely necessary qualities of the modern, practising Sexologist & Couples Therapist. It is our experience that in this way we best help the modern person.
