Are you stuck in a sexless marriage?
Do you and your partner have mismatched sexual desires?
Are you having performance issues?
Do you not feel emotionally connected anymore?
Or maybe you want to spice up your love life, but your partner isn’t interested.
If sexual issues are preventing true closeness between you and your partner, you may want to consider sex therapy.
How does Sex Therapy work?
As a certified sex therapist and couples therapist, I work with a lot of couples that are no longer connected in the bedroom. I find that many therapist shy away from this and feel that if they work on the other areas of the relationship that aren’t working that the couple will suddenly begin having sex again. This isn’t always the case. I focus on the physical relationship between two people in a relationship, then identify the couple’s attitudes about sex and the sexual problem. From there, I’ll often recommend specific exercises or activities to refocus the couple’s attention and expectations. I also look at other ways that aren’t just physical to build intimacy between partners so that they can learn other ways to be close/connected in their relationship.
Specific objectives could include the following:
- Learning to eliminate distractions and relax
- Learning to communicate what you’d like in a positive way
- Learning nonsexual touching techniques
- Increasing or enhancing sexual stimulation
If you’d like to explore sex therapy, I want you to know that you aren’t alone, that many couples are in a sexless relationship. I am here to help. Please contact me today so we can schedule an appointment.
