Sex therapy

Fulfilling sexual relations are part of any healthy relationship.

Our ability to feel comfortable with our body and with another can be aided by the adoption of a healthy routine, getting plenty of sleep, a healthy diet, enough exercise and through techniques such as meditation that help reduce stress.

The therapists at the Ardent Center can help you to work on establishing a good routine for yourself.

It can also help to talk to a therapist, because sometimes there can be an underlying reason for our lack of ease with sex that we are not aware of.

Sometimes we may have to work to overcome the effects of earlier negative sexual experiences.

Recent research has shown that a gentle touch can stimulate the same sections of the brain similar that are enlivened by rewards such as a sweet treat.

One of the first steps is to establish a comfortable ease and intimacy between the members of the couple. This can take the form of gentle stroking of each other's arms. It can be friendly not sexual. Your therapist can help you explore these steps.
