Sensate Focused Therapy

If you are having sex you should know about Sensate Focused Therapy, a widely used technique amongst sex therapists. This form of therapy helps support clients in getting out of their head and into their bodies when giving or receiving touch. It can be useful for a range of different relationships like those with a history of pelvic pain, people with penises experiencing anxiety around getting an erection, relationships where a desire discrepancy has been present and more. Not in a relationship, not a problem, sensate is versatile.

 

Today’s guest, Linda Weiner, a licensed clinical social worker, owner of Sex Therapist St. Louis, and co-author of the book Sensate Focus in Sex Therapy: The Illustrated Manual, joins host Michelle Fischler. Together, they discuss what Sensate Focused Therapy is, how individuals and couples can benefit from it, and more.
