Discover the Connection Between Trauma and Sexual Wellness
At EMDR KW Counselling, we understand that healing from trauma involves more than just emotional recovery. Trauma, especially when related to experiences of abuse, intimacy, or body image, can deeply affect sexual wellness and intimate relationships. That’s why we now offer sex therapy in combination with our EMDR services to help you achieve full-body and mind recovery.
How Can Sex Therapy Help?
Sex therapy offers a supportive, confidential space to explore and heal issues related to:
Sexual Trauma: Addressing past trauma that affects your ability to feel safe, connected, or confident in intimate situations.
Body Image and Self-Esteem: Working through feelings of shame, discomfort, or dissatisfaction with your body that may interfere with sexual enjoyment.
Intimacy and Connection: Rebuilding trust and emotional intimacy in relationships after trauma.
Sexual Dysfunction: Overcoming difficulties such as low libido, pain during sex, or other physical issues that impact sexual health.
Why Combine Sex Therapy and EMDR?
EMDR therapy is known for helping clients process and heal from traumatic memories, but often trauma also impacts how we connect to our bodies and experience pleasure. By combining these two therapies, you can experience:
Comprehensive Healing: EMDR helps to desensitize distressing memories, while sex therapy helps you rebuild a healthy relationship with your body and sexuality.
Safe Exploration of Intimacy: Working with a trauma-informed sex therapist allows you to explore topics like intimacy and sexuality in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
Empowerment and Confidence: Reconnecting with your sexual self can be a vital part of reclaiming your power and confidence after trauma.
Who Can Benefit?
This combined approach is ideal for individuals or couples who:
Are survivors of sexual trauma or abuse.
Struggle with sexual dysfunction, shame, or fear related to intimacy.
Want to reconnect with their sexual selves after trauma or other life events.
Feel disconnected from their partner due to unresolved trauma.
