Sexuality

This one idea perfectly explains why sex psychology counseling is so important, and why problems related to sexuality often cannot get better on their own.

Unfortunately, most of us do not have the right language and communication tools to talk about sexuality. This block can appear as a child in our family or as an adult in our relationships. It may seem like a simple difficulty but it is not, because misunderstood or misheard information can lead us in directions that result in serious, real blocks.

The causes behind sexual problems and disorders can be very varied and they can even be traced back to childhood:

• sexual abuse

• blocks caused by shame

• childhood hypersexuality

In many cases the wrong relationship dynamic can lead to sexual difficulties:

• orgasm disorder

• erectile dysfunction

• premature ejaculation

• vaginismus

Getting older or going through different crisis situations can also cause temporary or lasting changes in intimacy:

• sexual function decline

• lack of desire

And sometimes a person experiences sexual difficulties on their own, individually:

• anxiety caused by a gender identity/sexual orientation different from the majority

• fetishes

• porn addiction

• sex addiction

The goal of sex therapy is to explore the emotional or mental causes behind sexual blocks, and through a process of concrete steps, provide tools for a fuller sexuality at both individual and relationship level. In the therapy process, you can take part alone or as a couple; this depends partly on your preferences, and partly on a recommendation from your psychologist to help achieve the best result.

We do not enjoy having to point this out separately, but we think it is important to mention that within the walls of Tabuk Villája there is no place for any kind of discrimination. To us, everyone's well-being matters equally so we warmly welcome members of the LGBTQ community too.

It is a tense fear of failure that creates stress hormones in your body, and physically can also stop you from relaxing or having natural responses.
