Sex & Intimacy Therapy
Sex and intimacy is something that many of us engage in, either on our own or with others, yet we so rarely speak about it. Lack of communication around sex is one of the most prominent reasons that we can end up feeling stuck sexually, lose desire in our relationships, experience low libido and end up having sexual experience cloaked in shame, anxiety, and insecurity.
Strategies for intimacy issues
Here at Resilience Psychotherapy, we want to help you find your way to the type of intimacy that gives you a sense of pleasure, joy, and authenticity. Everyone is unique in what helps them relax, get into the mood, and ask for what they want and need in the bedroom. A little communication goes a long way, especially when you are guided by a therapist that normalizes the conversation and makes it easy and fun.
What to Expect from Sex & Intimacy Therapy
The process of sex therapy entails starting to understand the myriad of factors that impact your intimacy relationships and sexual expression. For some it might be exploring the contexts and stimuli that are arousing to them, for others it might mean addressing limiting sexual beliefs and shame. We also know that intimacy issues can be addressed by helping couples communicate, manage their stress and create a balance in emotional and physical labour in the relationship. This can go a long way to help heighten the sexual response.
Whether you come in on your own or with a partner, we are here to make the conversation comfortable and help you access a new level of pleasure. Book an appointment with a therapist from Resilience to address intimacy issues.
Try Group Therapy
As part of your services, we also offer the Optimal Sexual Experience group for couples. This group therapy program was developed by Dr. Peggy Kleinplatz, clinical psychologist, sex therapist, and author of the book “Magnificent Sex.” In this group, couples have a chance to explore and overcome different barriers to their sex lives in a fun, supportive group setting.
Although the idea of the type of group therapy may sound intimidating, we find that couples end up really appreciating knowing that they are not alone in their intimacy issues and struggles, and they learn a great deal from each other.
