Intimacy & Relationship Issues
Are you even listening to me?
Great sex is nurtured by strong communication, trust, respect, and acceptance. Because intimacy is often perceived as a taboo topic for couples to explore, many couples settle for sex lives that are less than satisfactory. Some signs that sex is negatively impacting a relationship may include:
-
Disappointment in oneself or the relationship
-
An overall sense of disconnection between partners
-
One or both partners feeling unwanted, rejected, or neglected
-
Partners feeling that sex is boring, repetitive, or burdensome
People seek counseling around issues of intimacy if they are seeking a change in their private lives; therapy can take place with either one or both partners involved. Sex is often considered to be the pulse of a romantic relationship. If you are seeking to forge a deeper bond with your partner, or just feel more comfortable in your own skin, counseling may provide the path you are looking for.
