SEX THERAPY
“Sex is…perfectly natural. It’s something that’s pleasurable. It’s enjoyable and it enhances a relationship. So why don’t we learn as much as we can about it and become comfortable with ourselves as sexual human beings because we are all sexual?”
– Sue Johnson
Are you and your partner fighting about how much sex you aren’t having?
Do you feel as though all of your friends are getting busy every night of the week, yet you can barely keep your eyes open when your head this the pillow?
Are you experiencing pain when you engage in sexual contact?
Or erectile dysfunction?
Or do you only experience arousal when watching pornography?
SEX IS AN INCREDIBLY PERSONAL AND INTIMATE PART OF OUR SENSE OF SELF.
Love, sex and intimacy are deeply intertwined to our personal identity. Whether you are single, in a relationship, feel like sex is ruining your life, wish you could be more sexual, or do not enjoy sex – there is often a negative sex message that has been internalized and may be influencing your thoughts and behaviors.
“Your eroticism is revealed in your sexual preferences, your fantasies, and your reaction to erotic media.” – Author Unknown
We offer a safe environment where topics about sex are welcomed. In many cases, we think of sex as an isolated part of our beings. However, our sexuality connects to every aspect of our lives and our existence.
SEX IS OFTEN PERCEIVED AS A TABOO SUBJECT, THEREFORE RARELY GETS THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES.
Individuals and couples who are seeking sex therapy are often struggling with pain, confusion, and shame. You may feel overwhelmed or stuck. Struggles with sexuality may cause you to feel incapable, broken or unworthy. You may wonder if you are normal. It can be difficult to discuss and there may be fears of being judged, misunderstood and rejected.
WHAT IS SEX THERAPY?
Sex therapy refers to specialized skills and specific treatment approaches to sexuality issues, problems, and relationship issues. These can involve questions about sexual orientation/identity, gender identity, or sexual/relationship preferences include monogamous, polyamorous, and open relationships. Sometimes physical difficulties prevent or diminish sexual pleasure. While other times it can be sexual communication and intimacy that is the root of the problem. In general, sex therapy helps you clarify, set goals, and resolve sexual questions or difficulties which affect you and/or your relationships.
Properly trained sex therapists have not only taken additional classes on sexuality and received supervised training in sex therapy but should have also explored their own sexual attitudes, biases, and beliefs. A sex therapist should be someone non-judgmental, unconditionally accepting, and open to any kind of client. They should also be equipped to handle many different cultural influences a client has when receiving sex therapy. Several professional associations train sex therapists. AASECT, the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists is the largest and most credible licensing training.
