One out of every three couples struggles with mismatched sexual desire---a formula for marital disaster. When one spouse is sexually dissatisfied and the other is oblivious, unconcerned, or uncaring, sex isn’t the only casualty; a sense of emotional connection can also disappear. Complicating matters is that fact that many couples (and some therapists) feel uncomfortable discussing sex and remain focused on “Red Herring” issues. This workshop offers a hands-on, collaborative model for addressing the "elephant in the room" and restoring sexual and emotional connection.
Learning Objectives:
End the vicious cycle of refusing sex which leads to anger, less desire and more refusal
Coach both partners about specific ways to alter their approach to increase their partner's empathy and willingness to change
Describe a newer, more fluid way to think of sexual desire
