What Is It?
Psychodynamic sex therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on the relationship between one's past experiences, emotions, and their sexual well-being. Our sexual attitudes, desires, and behaviors are often rooted in our subconscious, shaped by early life experiences, relationships, and societal influences.
In psychodynamic sex therapy, we explore these underlying psychological and emotional factors that may impact your sexual health and satisfaction. By identifying and addressing these hidden influences, you can gain a deeper understanding of your sexual concerns, overcome obstacles, and ultimately develop a healthier and more fulfilling sexual life.
This therapeutic approach provides a holistic perspective on sexuality, emphasizing the importance of emotional and psychological well-being in achieving sexual satisfaction and personal growth.
