We sat down with the lovely folks from TLC: Talk, Listen, Change<\/a>, to learn all about sex therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We discussed why people need this service, what to expect from a session and how it benefits intimacy. Plus, we talk about TLC’s project to provide 1,000 sex therapy sessions to low-income households. Read the full interview below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, What is Sex Therapy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We got Polly Sangar, Relationship and Psychosexual Therapist at TLC, to teach us all about it; “Its full name is psycho-sexual therapy<\/strong>, and it’s a structured programme that deals specifically with sexual problems or dysfunctions”<\/em>. Polly outlined, “The psychological element is important as it can have a massive impact. We look at the problem and the person(s) as a whole, holistically.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need to be in a relationship to go to sex therapy either; this is something you can do for yourself. “As individuals, we are sexual persons; we have sex with ourselves before entering into sex with another person. So it’s helpful to understand ourselves before entering into sex with another person.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also broke down why an individual or couple might decide to attend sessions. “In its crudest nutshell, it’s: <\/em>‘Can’t get it in, can’t get it out, can’t get it up, or gone off it’<\/strong>. So, that covers the basis of thinking around dysfunction.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
