Sex Therapy at Peak
I’m so stuck. . . I don’t know who I am. . . No one taught me this. . . I don’t know what happened to us . . . I just feel like my body is broken . . . Where has my partner gone. . . I feel alone . . .I’m just so confused, it doesn’t make sense . . . I feel so dull and disconnected?
Can you hear yourself in any of these? These are some of the common sentiments we hear from our clients. They are struggling, often feeling stuck, isolated, and confused, like the light of their life has been dimmed or turned off. They want answers and help moving forward but don’t know how to do so themselves.
So, they make themselves vulnerable, take a courageous step, and reach out to us to be their guide, to hold the light for them as we find a way back to their own.
Okay, but what exactly is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of talk therapy in which a client can address thoughts and feelings about their sexual confidence, satisfaction, functioning, and identity. This form of psychotherapy allows people an opportunity to talk openly, without judgement or shame, about this vulnerable and essential part of their lives, with a well-trained, supportive therapist. Though the goal of therapy may be sexually focused, it is typical that factors outside of sex in our clients’ lives require attention in order to create the change they are craving (e.g. anxiety, stress, depression, relationship issues, past traumas, and more).
