Date: November 3, 2026 | 2:00 PM MST
Format: Live, synchronous webinar | 1 hour

Course Description
This training offers a systemic, bodysoul-centered approach to understanding and working with menstrually related experience. Participants will be introduced to a depth psychological lens and explore why menstrual content matters as part of female-bodied embodiment and psycho-sexual-spiritual individuation. Extending the concept of sexual panics to include menstrual panic, the training examines archetypes of cultural bias around menstrual experience and offers ways to identify and work with this bias personally and with clients.
Case studies of PMDD, amenorrhea, PCOS, traumatic birth, infertility, and identity beyond womanhood will be explored through the 4-D Wheel Method. Participants will leave with new ways of relating to menstruality, along with practical tools for including menstrual awareness in their clinical work.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this training, attendees will be able to:
Describe the relevance of menstruality to clients' holistic well-being.
Identify and address menstrual bias in themselves and in those they serve.
Practice a holistic method that integrates menstrually affiliated experience within a person's embodied identity and expression.
Limitations, Risks, & Benefits
This training offers valuable benefits, including foundational knowledge and practical skills around depth psychology, menstrual awareness, and bodysoul-centered approaches that can increase clinicians' confidence and competence when working with clients on menstrually related experience. Participants will gain tools for identifying and addressing menstrual bias, exploring case studies involving conditions such as PMDD, amenorrhea, PCOS, traumatic birth, and infertility, and applying the 4-D Wheel Method in practice.
The training does come with some limitations and potential risks. As a one-hour online session, it can only cover a limited scope of this multifaceted subject and may not fully replicate the interactivity of an in-person experience. Some participants may encounter discomfort when exploring sensitive topics related to menstrual-sexual experience, having their existing assumptions and worldview challenged, or engaging in role-play exercises around vulnerable subject matter. Those seeking a more comprehensive understanding of depth psychological approaches to menstruality are encouraged to pursue additional in-depth training beyond this introductory session.
Cultural Sensitivity
This training addresses cultural diversity and sensitivity in several meaningful ways. Grounded in the core principles of social work, it honors the worth and dignity of every person while emphasizing the importance of human relationships, social justice, and professional competence. Participants will be guided to reflect on their own unconscious biases and explore how the intersections of race, gender, sexual orientation, and cultural norms shape menstrual-sexual experience and history.
The training operates from the foundational understanding that all human beings are sexual and that various social and systemic influences inform each person's sexual history and vision for their sexuality. By extending the concept of sexual panics to include menstrual panic and examining archetypes of cultural bias around menstrual experience, the training equips clinicians to recognize and address these biases both personally and in their work with clients. It also broadens its lens to include identities beyond womanhood, acknowledging the diverse range of people who have menstrual experiences. Overall, the training fosters curiosity, empathy, and cultural competence, enhancing professionals' ability to work effectively with clients across diverse cultural, gender, and sexual identities.
Course Content
This training employs a variety of engaging teaching methods designed to support both knowledge acquisition and practical skill development. Participants will benefit from expert-led lectures and discussions that introduce depth psychological frameworks and bodysoul-centered approaches to menstrual-sexual experience. Live demonstrations and role-play exercises provide opportunities to practice initiating and navigating conversations around sensitive menstrual and sexual health topics in a supportive environment. Guided reflection and Q&A sessions allow participants to process the material, address questions, and connect the content to their own clinical experiences.
Evaluation of participant learning is built into the training through multiple methods. Facilitators will observe participation in role-play and group discussions, offering real-time feedback to attendees. Peers will also contribute feedback during interactive exercises, creating a collaborative and reflective learning environment. Additionally, participants will engage in self-assessment of their own comfort level and proficiency with the material presented, encouraging honest reflection on personal growth and areas for continued development.
Together, these methods ensure that participants leave not only with a theoretical understanding of menstruality, depth psychology, and the 4-D Wheel Method, but also with practical tools and increased confidence to integrate menstrual awareness into their work with clients across diverse populations and clinical settings.
Relevance
This training holds strong relevance across the social work, mental health counseling, and marriage and family therapy professions. For social workers, it directly aligns with the National Association of Social Workers' (NASW) core principles by centering a holistic, bodysoul-aware approach to menstrual-sexual experience that treats clients' embodied lives with dignity, respect, and compassion, while its emphasis on identifying and addressing menstrual bias and exploring the intersections of race, gender, and sexual orientation reflects a deep commitment to social justice and inclusive practice. For general mental health counselors, the training expands the clinical lens to include menstrual-sexual experience as a vital component of holistic client care, introducing the concept of menstrual panic alongside sexual panics so counselors can identify how cultural bias, shame, and stigma around menstruality manifest in a client's mental health and self-concept, broadening their ability to conceptualize client presentations beyond a purely diagnostic framework. For marriage and family therapists, the training highlights how menstrual-sexual experience shapes relational dynamics, family systems, and individual identity within the therapeutic context, extending the systemic lens MFT practitioners are trained to apply and illuminating how experiences such as PMDD, infertility, traumatic birth, and amenorrhea can affect intimate partnerships, family planning, and intergenerational patterns. Across all three professions, the 4-D Wheel Method and depth psychological frameworks introduced in the training, along with case studies involving conditions such as PMDD, amenorrhea, PCOS, traumatic birth, and infertility, give clinicians practical tools that support long-term client growth and healing and strengthen their capacity to hold a holistic, inclusive view of the embodied lives of the individuals, couples, and families they serve.
