Sexual Dysfunction & Sex Therapy Diagnostic Training
(For Therapists)
To fully address sexual dysfunction in clients, it’s essential to delve into their past. The sexual template that crystallizes at puberty is shaped by earlier life experiences. These predisposing factors are often set long before clients reach adulthood. While we cannot change the past, understanding and exploring it provides crucial insights into how we can guide clients toward lasting change in their future sexual functioning.
As therapists, this training will equip you to diagnose and address sexual dysfunction in couples. The focus will be on helping clients modify their cognitive patterns—specifically, shifting their anticipatory thinking and expectations around sexual performance and failure. By changing these mental frameworks, clients can change their behaviors, fostering improved outcomes in their sexual relationships.
This training will help you guide clients to rewire their brain’s behavior patterns. Through new positive experiences, neural pathways are created that reinforce good outcomes. Over time, clients’ brains will become more inclined to repeat successful sexual behaviors, while moving away from negative patterns associated with shame, failure, and dissatisfaction. This positive reinforcement—coupled with practical rewards and strategies—will encourage long-term change and improvement.
The Sexual Dysfunction Diagnostic Process
As a therapist, you are already aware that unconscious patterns are difficult to change without first bringing them to light. The Sexual Dysfunction Diagnostic Sessions are designed to help you facilitate this process, moving these unconscious issues into your client’s conscious awareness, where they can be addressed. This training will provide you with the tools to guide clients through this transformational process, enabling them to take back control of their sexual health and overall well-being.
During the diagnostic process, clients within a couples partnership or marriage will undergo an extensive history-taking session. You will learn how to ask the right questions to gain a detailed understanding of your client’s sexual development, from childhood to the present. This profile-building process is essential to uncover the root causes of their behaviors and patterns.
The psycho-educational approach of this training will empower you to help clients gain deep insights and understanding. By moving unconscious issues into the conscious realm, clients can make informed choices about their future and take action to change behaviors that no longer serve them.
What You Can Expect as a Trained Therapist
Just as hundreds of clients have benefited from these diagnostic sessions, this training will give you the tools to help individuals gain clarity around the key issues impacting their sexual health. Many clients experience profound “aha” moments during this process, as they begin to see the patterns that have limited their sexual satisfaction and overall quality of life.
As a therapist trained in Sexual Dysfunction Diagnostic Sessions, you will be able to:
- Help clients better understand the issues affecting their sexual health and quality of life.
- Identify and clarify negative sexual patterns and emotional triggers.
- Assist clients in understanding how past experiences influence present sexual dysfunction and future potential.
- Develop a clear road-map for aligning clients’ present behaviors with their desired sexual future.
- Provide immediate, actionable steps to resolve these issues, allowing clients to move toward their goals.
- Strategize long-term solutions that support sustained positive change in sexual functioning and intimacy.
