Intimacy avoidant behaviors related to finances, food, sex, and relationships are sometimes misunderstood or miscategorized in the therapeutic setting. Heather will help clinicians understand the connection between these different intimacy-avoidant behaviors as well as their connection to FOO, trauma, and culture.

Objectives

1. Define and differentiate characteristics of intimacy avoidant behaviors and how they may present in a therapeutic setting.
2. Discuss the role of family of origin, trauma, culture and socioeconomic status in the development of intimacy avoidant behaviors.

Presenter, Heather Lowrey, LMHC in the state of Washington, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor (NCC).
