Female Sexual Dysfunction

Lack of sexual enjoyment creates guilt.

Have you gotten used to the idea that sex is not supposed to be pleasurable? You may think that the women in the sex industry must be faking it, the movies are lying to you, and you hate the idea of sex.

You do it because you feel that’s what you are supposed to do. You’ve had to fake it – literally, fake it! Maybe it’s becoming evident to your partner as they see you close your eyes, your body shutting down, and you are emotionally unavailable.

You think, “I will get through this as I count the minutes and seconds till it’s over.” Even when it’s over, you cannot stand going through it again. When your partner initiates intimacy, you tighten up and get anxious but still pretend you want to. You hope they do not notice the tense body language and cringing smile.

You’ve seen friends or the media speak about sex in such a pleasurable way. You wonder what is the matter with you. You’ve even cried about it, hated yourself, or even felt defeated.

Imagine enjoying sexual fulfillment with your partner.

Think about how wonderful it would be to feel excited about sexual pleasure, talk about sex comfortably, and be open to receiving affection without fear that sex might come from it. Imagine relaxing during intercourse, getting to know your body, and feeling connected with your partner in a much deeper way.

It is possible, and we can achieve that! You are not alone; 30-40 percent of women experience sexual dysfunction.

I use mindfulness-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to work with you through past sexual trauma, anxiety, fear, or any other challenges preventing you from reaching fulfilling sex in your life.
