Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed by psychotherapist, James O’Neill on his Journey Mindfulness Podcast, where we had a lively discussion about sex, relationships, deepening intimacy and the role mindfulness can play in pleasure and orgasm. Check out our conversation below!
After participating in the podcast with Jim, I thought it might be helpful to write about how to know if signing up for sex therapy would be the right thing to do since people usually don’t often talk it.
Sex therapy helps people both sexually and relationally–it’s one stop shopping as one impacts the other. At times mental health issues contribute to the situation and that is part of treatment too. Common problems people bring into sex therapy include: communication, desire discrepancy, erectile dysfunction, early ejaculation, painful sex, affair recovery, out of control sexual behavior, inability to orgasm, LGBTQI related issues, gender identity, anxiety about sex, sexual abuse, and plain old not - getting - along - with - your - partner.
In short, if you have been struggling with your sexual relationship with yourself or with your partner in any way, sex therapy is the place to sort it out!
I have training in all of the aforementioned problems. If you’re interested in working with me, and live in either PA or MD, you can reach out for a 20 minute consultation call at no cost. We will discuss where you get stuck and what you’d like to work on in therapy. You can email me at www.jancareytherapy.com
