Let's talk about sex. Are you and your partner experiencing a lack of pleasure? Are you finding it challenging to feel aroused? Do you feel you have lost the "spark"? Are you looking to increase the passion and pleasure you desire in life? Do you want to wake up and feel empowered in your sex life? Sex can be a challenging conversation. Expressing our desires and fantasies can be intimidating. Sometimes we don't know where to begin and other times we can feel that we have expressed ourselves clearly. Over time, partners find themselves having less sex. They feel "too tired", "too busy", "unable to feel aroused".

Do you ever feel like you're completely fine one minute and ready to completely lose your shit the next? Are you the person who is always giving and giving and for some reason when you need something you find yourself completely alone, wondering what's wrong with you. Why don't people love you, how did you get to be this person that exists and is unlovable. You're constantly trying and you're about done with giving all of you to people who don't appreciate you but you feel guilty for even thinking that. This is the entanglement we tend to find ourselves in when we come from a place where we suffered alone in our bedrooms.

Sex Therapy

Who is sex therapy for?

Sex problems are common in relationships. Many people want a better sex life and want to feel loved and desired by their partner. It is difficult for couples to resolve sexual problems on their own because people often feel ashamed to talk about their sexual desires fearing they are not normal, when in fact a very broad range of preferences and behaviors are normal. A sex therapist can help clarify this and other matters.

Why do people need sex therapy?

Many people do not know how to talk about their erotic needs or their emotional needs, both of which are addressed in sex therapy. Couples often live with sexual difficulties for years before seeking help, and in that time, partners may experience so much disappointment and alienation that they may fear their problems mean they are incompatible. Once people experience disappointment, it is difficult to find resolution without help.

What happens in sex therapy?

People have many misconceptions about what takes place in sex therapy. First, it is a form of talk therapy in which partners discuss their sexual concerns; it does not involve touching or physical exploration of any kind. Sex therapy typically helps couples get comfortable talking to each other about sex so that, in the privacy of their home life, they can openly discuss their sexual desires and make decisions about what they want to do. Couples are typically assigned activities to do at home that build intimacy skills.

What kinds of problems do sex therapists treat?

Very often, partners differ in their degree of sexual desire and struggle over how often to have sex. Or they may have fights about porn use or have difficulty connecting sexually after one partner is unfaithful. Men may have problems with premature ejaculation. Women may find themselves struggling to become aroused or to achieve an orgasm. Sometimes partners feel like they have lost the sense of attraction to their partner. These are all common issues dealt with in sex therapy.
