What do we, as Sexual Therapists and Psychologists, do for our clients who want to start the sexual therapy process? What happens in Sexual Therapies? These questions and more are just a few that come to the minds of our clients who apply for the session. We also know that starting the sexual therapy process is not easy for our clients. They can apply either by showing courage or by making a spur of the moment decision out of exhaustion. This is very valuable and precious to us.
What awaits clients who apply for the session? What do therapists do?
Sexual health problems can exist in a person's life, just like other physical or physiological problems. Sexual health problems can also be improved with appropriate methods. It should not be forgotten that a healthy sexual life is important for physical and spiritual happiness.
What does the Therapist do during this process? It addresses the problems or complaints about the couples' existing sexual lives, applies some treatment methods according to the problem that arises, and initiates a professional examination and conversation about the problems. Couples and therapists work collaboratively to eliminate existing cognitive or behavioral problems. Cooperation is very important at this point and has a positive impact on the course of events. The therapist plans a systematic study on the sexual problem, investigates the underlying causes and shares solutions with the couples. The process in sexual therapy varies depending on the complaint and the couples' interest in the sessions. While sessions are often held in pairs, the therapist may also hold individual meetings when deemed necessary. The current problem in sexual therapy actually belongs to the couple, not the individual. Continuing the sessions as a couple is a basic condition of sexual therapy. Overcoming the problem together as a couple is not only healthier during the therapy process, but it also gives strength to the couple and makes it easier for both parties to cope with the problem.
Last word; “sexual therapy” is not just about “sexuality”. While dealing with the problem, it also enriches the marriage and the couples' existing relationships in many ways.
