- Sexuality
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!
