COUPLES & SEX THERAPY

​

Sex therapy is a form of psychotherapy aiming to help couples and individuals regain an active and harmonious sex life and increase sexual satisfaction.

In its basic forms, sex therapy can help to learn new and more appropriate techniques, re-kindle desire and enjoyment, eliminate pain or disruptions of normal sexual functionings, clarify issues of sexual orientation or identity, etc.

It also helps to clarify, understand, and differentiate biological, psychological, relational, contextual and technical aspects of sexual issues.

Sex therapy is based on a thorough medical and psychological examination, but is mainly focused on eliminating the symptoms themselves.

Therefore, sex therapy is usually relatively short-term.

 

However, sexual problems are often not only a matter of biological functioning or lack of technical skills, but symptoms of deeper emotional issues of the individual or the couple. Therefore sex therapy is often a joint venture with relationship counseling and/or with individual psychotherapy.

 

Issues of attachment, intimacy, commitment, communication, self-esteem, shame, fear, anxiety, unconscious expectations, performance anxieties, traumatic memories, but also gender roles, social expectations, virtual reality etc. can all play a role

in our sex life.
 
The ultimate goal of relationship counseling and sex therapy is always a happy, harmonious, intimate and loving relationship.
