Sex Counseling

Sex Counseling a person-centered intervention that addresses the physical, sensory, and psychosocial barriers to sexual expression. It enables individuals with pain, disabilities, injuries, various conditions or illnesses to safely and meaningfully engage in sexual activity through education, environmental modification, adaptive equipment and strategies to compensate for mobility limitations, pain or weakness. 

  • Education - Understand sexual boundaries, safety, and consent.Explore and gain an understanding of how you and your body processes sensory input. What role does the nervous system play?
  • Communication - Learn to say or express what you want safely and effectively
  • Environmental modification (adjusting lighting, tempurature, sounds, smells, touch, taste, etc)
  • Compensatory strategies - Try 'this' instead of 'that'. Explore all the ways you can safely engage in sexual activity without pain and exhaustion, and more joy! 

Sex Counseling and Sex Therapy are not the same! 

Sex Therapy is a psychotherapy specialty that is provided by a trained and licensed mental health therapist. If the need for a sex therapist arises, Brave Body Wellness will be happy to provide you with a referral.
