Sexual health and wellness therapies are available to help you get to the bottom of any problems involving sexual health and wellness.
Physical Issues
Sexual health and wellness therapies can help you work through any physical issues you may be having that interfere with your sexual satisfaction, such as erectile dysfunction or low libido.Emotional Issues
If you have a history of abuse that is impacting your sexual satisfaction, or another type of emotional trauma or concerns, sexual therapy can help address and work through these issues.
Partner Assistance
Sexual Health and Wellness Therapies are not only available for the individual experiencing the problems; they are also available for their partners. A partner needs to be understanding and supportive of any emotional or physical issues that may be interfering with a desire for sex or sexual satisfaction.With sexual health therapy, a partner can learn techniques that help you work through these issues in an educational and supportive environment. In addition, it provides the partner with the skills and understanding needed to apply these lessons outside of the office in a more intimate setting.
Sex therapy is very similar to other forms of psychological counseling, it just involves sexual health and wellness. This can include both physical and emotional issues that may be impacting this area of someone’s life.
Sex therapy can be for a single person, or a couple can come in together to determine what role each person is playing in contributing to the issue.
The sex therapist works by examining behavior, either of the individual or of the couple together. They interpret this behavior and use their conclusions to develop a solution that results in the desired outcome.
Sexual health and wellness therapy helps you be more mindful and aware of your own emotions and how they can impact a sexual relationship with a partner or yourself.
Sexual Health and Wellness Therapies are helpful for those with:
Erectile Dysfunction
Not only is erectile dysfunction a physical condition, but there are also a lot of emotional concerns that can result from it. Sex therapy can help men with erectile dysfunction learn more about their condition, what factors may contribute to it, and how they can be open about their situation with their partners without experiencing any negative emotions.Performance Anxiety
Some people may not even realize that they have performance anxiety, so a sex therapist will always begin by teaching the individual or couple about what performance anxiety is and some strategies for coping with performance anxiety, such as establishing an open line of communication for the discussion of sexual wants and needs.
Relationship Stress
Many times, couples who experience stress within their relationship may then go on to struggle within the bedroom. Sex therapy can address the cause of this stress, and help the couple work through it, while also providing tips on how to return to a healthy and happy sex life, if that is what is best for both individuals.
Past Trauma
This can include those who have experienced sexual assault or trauma. For these instances, therapy can begin on an individual basis before including a partner in the therapy sessions. This way, you have the ability to work through any residual feelings with yourself before your partner gets added to the mix.Relationship Conflict
In some cases, a partner in a relationship may begin to experience sexual boredom. In this case, a sex therapist can meet with the partner individually to help them better understand themselves and their sexual concerns. Then their partner can be incorporated in order to increase their understanding and work through any underlying issues that have presented themselves.Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB)
Those with CSB may experience a range of emotions associated with their behavior, such as shame, fear, and anxiety. It is best for these individuals to work through these personal emotions and experiences by themselves before bringing in a partner. At this point, the goal is to improve communication.
Personal Coping Difficulties
When someone has been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease or other condition that affects their sexual life, it can be challenging to work through these feelings and talk to a partner about it. Sex therapy can assist with addressing the emotions associated with the diagnosis and then provide guidance on improving communication and how to share that information.
