What is sex therapy?
Sex therapy is a lot of different things! It's communication, social skills, emotional, mental and physical health...
The most basic answer is sex therapists aren't going to shy away from sexual topics and how these can effect your mental and emotional health. While some traditional therapists might be wary of approaching topics that can be highly stigmatized, sex therapists specialize in promoting, educating, advocating, and using a variety of therapy techniques that can assist in a healthy and fulfilling life, in the bedroom and beyond.
Sex therapists work with individuals, couples, and other-identified-relationships to work on a variety of topics including:
low libido
lack of interest
low confidence
excessive libido
sexual-behavior issues
distressing sexual thoughts
unwanted sexual fetishes
as well as normalizing that sex, sexuality and gender differences can all be part of a healthy and happy life!
