Have you struggled with self worth in the bedroom? Feeling like your body isn’t just the way it should be? Or comparing yourself to others?
Do you feel performance anxiety and just cannot be in the moment while having sex?
Perhaps your sexual desire is higher than your partner’s and you continually feel rejected. Or you feel the opposite—your sexual desire is lower than your partner’s and you are feeling pressured to have sex that is not fulfilling for you.
Or, maybe, you have not been able to orgasm and you feel like something is wrong with you because of it.
You may have physical or emotional pain associated with sex. Sexual trauma, pain with intercourse, cultural narratives, and past relationships that have caused hurt can all affect how we have (or cannot have) sex.
There are so many factors that contribute to how we view ourselves. And sex is a major aspect. We are sexual beings.
In sex therapy, the focus is on your sexual health and how other areas of your life may be impacting it. These concerns can be processed through and worked through with the support of a therapist. There is hope and healing and pleasure to be found even when you feel broken.
