Couples Counseling, Navigating Conflict, and Sex Therapy
Welcome back to Asking for Myself, where I ask all the questions you're too afraid to. Today I am joined by sex therapist Kaycee Polite and relationship coach Shula Melamed to talk all things couples counseling. What do I ask this week?
- What is the difference between therapy and coaching?
- What is sex therapy and who is it for?
- Is it ever too early or too late to seek couples counseling?
- What can couples expect from therapy or coaching? What does a typical session look like and how long is the therapeutic relationship meant to last?
- What can you do if one partner doesn't want to be in therapy and the other does?
- If you are in couples counseling, should you also seek individual therapy or coaching? What is the difference in terms of format and expectations?
- Where does defensiveness come from and what can you do when you notice it showing up, both within yourself and within your partner?
- Are we responsible for our partner’s emotions?
- When is it time to call it quits vs continue working on the relationship?
- What can couples do when there are dips in desire and mismatched libidos
- How do you build sexual intimacy with your partner and get creative in your sex life over time?
- What if your partner is resistant to trying new things or intimidated?
So yes, a lot of questions! 😅 Let’s get into it!
