SEX THERAPY
“Nothing can satisfy you if you are not yourself.”
Mary Wortley Montagu
Within the framework of sex therapy, individual challenges relating to pleasure, sensuality, desire, physicality, shame, self-expression and boundaries can be addressed. Other important areas of sex therapy include all topics related to sexual orientation and gender identity.
In my search for the ideal treatment method for sexual issues or areas of growth, I have completed a variety of sexual therapy training courses and have intensively studied social factors (colonization, patriarchy, capitalism, etc.) and developments (e.g. social media) and their effects on our sexuality and self-expression.
The approach I have developed takes into account previous relationship experiences, the social context, one's own relationship with oneself (mental and physical) and the physical reality of sexual experience.
I view all sexual problems as areas for growth and therefore work in a resource-oriented and affirmative manner.
Contents of sex therapy
To begin with, I want to get to know your sexual system and discover what skills and, of course, challenges you bring with you. Even if you may not be aware of it yet, there are always some things that work.
I consider it essential to consider the underlying causes of the problems and to work on them psychotherapeutically so that the symptoms can be resolved on a physical level.
Starting with your current state, we will work together to expand your possibilities. To achieve this, I will, among other things, lead body awareness exercises that can improve your sensitivity and thus your relationship with your body. All of these exercises can and ideally should be practiced at home.
I always respect her needs and boundaries. In practice, there is no sexual contact.
attitude
I view sexuality as a potential source of vitality and a central aspect of human existence. For many people, sexual difficulties are not just marginal problems, but rather diminish their overall quality of life.
Dealing with sexual problems is often characterized by strong feelings of shame, which can be recognized by the unwillingness or inability to talk about it openly. This often also creates a feeling of powerlessness, which can sometimes lead to further isolation or thoughts like "I'm not normal," "I'm a failure," "I'm disturbed," "No one will ever love me," etc.
Sex therapy is a safe space where you can talk about everything and express all your feelings.
As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I view people as a unity of body, mind and soul.
Sexuality is a central hub where many life issues such as sexual orientation, gender identity, preferences, fantasies, depths of one's soul, longings, dissatisfaction in relationships, etc. are revealed.
In addition, all phases of life, physical changes (due to pregnancy, illness, accidents, etc.) and limitations have a direct impact on sexuality and can be integrated into sex therapy.
Find your individual way of dealing with the challenges of your sex life through sex therapy.
I understand sexual function as a psychosomatic process, i.e. a physical process that also expresses something for the soul or the spirit.
According to this logic, sexual dysfunction For me, these are not human errors that could simply be solved with a little more technology or expertise, but rather an expression of the human organism that needs something in order to be able to come back into balance with itself and its environment.
Your physical sensations make sense, let's go on a search together.
I consider a sexual disorder to be an attempt by the human organism to heal itself, because the disorder points to a hidden problem that needs to be solved.
I support you in experiencing your body's symptoms no longer as a deficit, but as a compass and thus as a resource to be able to address the underlying concerns, which experience has shown leads to healing and personal growth.
Build a loving relationship with yourself.
I recognize sexual blockages as an opportunity for growth and would therefore like to accompany you on a path where, in addition to practical everyday tips and tricks for dealing with your challenges, you will also learn to listen to your inner voice, build a loving relationship with yourself and find joy in your sexuality again.
This allows you to recognize your true needs and learn to express them. Experience shows that this also leads to more satisfying interactions with other people.
