What is Psychosexual Therapy?

Treatment for sexual disorders has undergone tremendous development in the past thirty years. Long-term therapy was initially applied as a form of treatment in the first part of the 20th century. The clinicians employed free association techniques and therapeutic interpretations to help clients understand themselves and their issues because they thought that sexual dysfunctions were caused by the man or woman having gone through the stages of psychosexual development wrong.

Many people are using modern psychosexual therapy to enhance their sexual and emotional lives in countries like Saudi Arabia as well as some famous western nations.

How Does it
work?

It mostly focuses on sexually related issues like dyspareunia, anorgasmia, premature ejaculation, and erectile dysfunction. It can be done alone or with a partner, last from nine months to a year, and have weekly meetings. However, like with any therapy, the length of time depends on a number of factors, including the frequency of meetings, the amount of time the couples spend on household chores, and the specifics of the sexual issue.

Procedure

A professional counselor conducts a thorough biopsychosocial evaluation of the relationship or individual. The examination is carried out in order to identify the underlying medical, psychological, and social problems that are causing the sexual dysfunction.

The sex therapist then obtains a thorough sexual history from both spouses to help them determine whether the issue is ongoing rather than passing or episodic. A urologist and/or gynecologist may be recommended to the client by the therapist in order to rule out physiological causes of the sexual dysfunction.If during the sessions the couple or person has contributed to a sexual issue, the therapist helps them to open up and change their beliefs, attitudes, and actions. The foundation of treatment is behavioral exercises, which clients complete between sessions at home. Through the exercises, clients learn the principles of communication, adaptability, and enjoyment in healthy sexuality.

Results
