Sex therapy is a method of treatment designed to improve the sexual satisfaction between a couple by addressing different challenges and other types of sexual dysfunctions. All couples go through phases where they don’t have the energy for regular sex.
However, there are times when past experiences and disruptive mental conditions like sexual trauma, body shaming, or a desynchronized sex drive between partners can lead to unsatisfying sex. It’s natural to hope for better sex and there are specific psychological or medical reasons for your difficulties.
People are often more inclined towards dealing with these problems on their own as it can be quite daunting for any individual to open up about their intimate encounters. Sex Therapy is yet another form of psychotherapy that involves sharing insight into an individual’s dissatisfying sex life by talking through personal life experiences, worries and insecurities.
A couples sex therapist is a trained professional who is there to listen to and understand a couple’s sex-related grievances and help them improve their view of their sexuality.
The best part about attending such sessions with a sex therapist is that they can talk about a wide range of topics about challenges like sexual anxiety, lack of communication with your sexual partner, erectile dysfunction, performance issue, imbalanced libido and so on.
Professional sex therapist reassures that the patient having such problems is normal and can be solved with a little effort.
