Many people starting therapy hesitate to bring up s*xual topics. It can feel awkward, embarrassing, or even scary, and they might worry about being judged or misunderstood.
Here are 5 common myths and the truths behind them:
1. Myth: It’s awkward or inappropriate to bring up s*xual concerns.
Truth: Therapy is a safe space to talk openly about s*xuality, and it is a therapist’s job to help you feel safe in exploring s*xual topics. Nothing you bring up is off-limits.
2. Myth: Your therapist will judge you or feel uncomfortable.
Truth: Therapists are trained to listen and support you without judgment, no matter the topic. Specifically, a s*x therapist understands how to properly guide you in your fears of curiosity related to s*x.
3. Myth: Talking about s*x means something is “wrong” with you or your relationship.
Truth: S*xual concerns are common. Discussing them is about understanding yourself and your relationship, not being “broken.”
4. Myth: S*xual thoughts and experiences should come naturally.
Truth: S*xuality is learned and explored starting as early as childhood. Growth and understanding are possible at any stage of life, especially in adulthood.
5. Myth: You’re the only person struggling with s*x.
Truth: Almost everyone faces s*xual concerns at some point. You are not alone, and talking about it helps.
