Why Choose Sex Therapy for Erectile Dysfunction in Toronto?

A sex therapist can help you identify the thought patterns that trigger anxiety, guide you in opening up and sharing your fears with your partner and help you work through it.

Sex therapists can often uncover underlying causes that fuel erectile difficulties such as anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, or unrealistic expectations. In many cases, erectile dysfunction can be treated without medication or sex therapy can be combined with medical interventions.

Speaking with a sex therapist can also guide you into letting go of anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt. Therapy sessions will help individuals learn how to manage expectations and let go of paralyzing thoughts and beliefs, which can be an underlying factor for those that suffer from performance anxiety. Learning how to guide your thought process and gaining an understanding of how factors such as diet, sleep, health and hormones can affect erectile strength is key. Shedding unrealistic expectations and being present is progress and one of the major steps in healing.
