Sex Therapy at Embodied Alignment Therapy

Sex therapy at Embodied Alignment Therapy is approached through a nervous-system and attachment-based lens. This work focuses on understanding how stress, trauma, medical experiences, relational history, and physiology affect access to desire, arousal, and intimacy.

Rather than viewing sexual concerns as performance issues or deficits, therapy reframes them as signals of the body’s current state. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, shut down, or operating from protection, access to desire or intimacy may feel limited or unavailable—regardless of motivation or effort.

Sex therapy is grounded in safety, consent, and therapeutic boundaries. Sessions are not explicit and do not involve instruction, performance techniques, or pressure to engage in any specific activity. The focus remains on regulation, meaning, and restoring choice and access.

Sex therapy may support individuals or partners experiencing:

• Low or absent sexual desire
• Difficulty with arousal or responsiveness
• Disconnection between emotional and physical intimacy
• Sexual concerns following medical, reproductive, or traumatic experiences
• Mismatched desire between partners
• Shame, anxiety, or shutdown related to intimacy

This work is especially supportive for those who sense that sexual concerns are connected to stress, trauma, or relational dynamics rather than lack of interest or effort.
