The Most Tried and True Sex Therapy Technique
Are you struggling to overcome a sexual difficulty like an elusive orgasm or loss of erection? Or maybe you’re feeling sexually disconnected from your partner and want a strategy to reintegrate sex without it feeling awkward and uncomfortable. Perhaps you’re a cancer survivor and need help reawakening the pleasure pathways in your body. One sexual intervention is tried and true – sensate focus. Which is the topic of today’s episode. About half way through recording, I realized that I opened nearly every sentence with “one thing I love about sensate” and that’s because there is a lot to love! Linda Weiner wrote the book on it, and we are going to break it down for you. Let’s meet our guest.
