Many people experience sexual difficulties at some point during their life. While some problems resolve themselves, some do not and professional help may be required. Hypnotherapy can be an effective treatment for many sexual issues, though it is important that you consult your GP before seeking treatment.
Sexual difficulties are generally problems that prevent the individual or couple from enjoying sex and can make sex difficult. Studies show that one in 10 men and almost 50% of women are affected by a sexual problem. Sexual difficulties can occur early in an individual’s life, develop suddenly after a previously satisfying sex life or develop gradually.
Some of the most common sexual problems for men are performance anxiety, sexual dysfunction and premature ejaculation. For women, the most commonly experienced sexual problem is vaginismus. Problems may also include loss of desire and loss of arousal.
To identify the cause of a sexual problem, both physical and psychological factors have to be considered. The first step is to consult your physician so that they can rule out any physical factors that may be contributing to the problem. Once any physical causes have been ruled out, hypnotherapy can be considered. In many cases, sexual problems are a result of an underlying psychological issue, often triggered by stress, anxiety or fear.
Hypnotherapy can be beneficial for individuals experiencing sexual problems through helping to change negative or limiting thoughts and behaviors. After ruling out any physical factors, we can help you try and recognize what may be causing the issue.
There may be a number of reasons why you are experiencing sexual issues. There may be something worrying you and causing you stress. You may have something playing on your mind that is impacting your general well-being. Maybe you are stressed at work or you are worried about your own, or a loved one’s health. Whatever the reason, hypnosis works great for most individuals.
