| Sexual Intimacy/Couples ... |
God has intended sexuality to be a pleasurable and meaningful part of
marital intimacy but for many couples it is anything but a source of
pleasure. Sexuality, unfortunately, can be one of the most difficult
aspects of marital life. Some of the factors that contribute to
this reality are:
- Past sexual abuse
- Sexual Addiction
- Unrealistic expectations
- Poor communication
- Infidelity
- Selfishness
- Unresolved conflict and anger
- Depression
- Physical problems
Directions Counseling Group’s counselors understand and want to help couples
who are experiencing sexual problems.
Our counselors are
sensitive to the highly personal and emotional nature problems of
associated with sexuality. As in other areas of counseling, the counselors
work to:
- Build an empathetic bond with both Partners
- Identify and understand past and present contributing factors
- Develop a strategy for addressing contributing factors
- Identify specific sexual difficulties
- Recommend specific behavioral exercises
- Provide helpful follow-up to recommended treatment
Sexual communication and growth is often very difficult but with diligence
and courage the results can be increased sexual intimacy and pleasure.
