In this episode of Hopefulsexual, Producer/Host Nicholas Snow welcomes Dr. Sean Ferri, PsyD, to discuss how to address the fact that "stigma and shame can keep us from receiving our basic needs of love and belonging which leads to an increase and loneliness and isolation which has been labeled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization."
This is one of those topics Snow wishes didn't even exist, but since it does, let's look for ways through!
Dr. Sean Ferri, PsyD is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California (#34510) and New Jersey (#35SI00737900). He currently serves as the Senior Manger, Clinical Support and Clinical Psychologist at the LGBTQ Community Center of the Desert in Palm Springs. He also maintains a private practice. His doctoral research focused on the need for expanding LGBTQ+ competency within school-based mental health programs across the U.S. Prior to his clinical work, he was an educator and taught in a multitude of settings including China, Harlem, NY, and NJ. He currently teaches Human Sexuality and Intimacy at Pepperdine’s Graduate School of Education & Psychology. His areas of focus include the LGBTQ+ Community, anxiety, grief, and exploring the intersectionality of neurodivergency and gender identity.
Nicholas Snow has launched the Hopefulsexual™ Campaign to inspire authentic human connection while simultaneously combatting sexuality-based shame and stigma. The campaign is being advanced with video programming, podcasts, and of course, the new Hopefulsexual™ t-shirt brand available in Amazon stores worldwide.
