Hypnotherapy for Erectile Dysfunction
Hypnotherapy for male sexual issues
Sexual Function and Hypnotherapy
Sexual issues can be difficult to talk about, especially with someone you don’t know.
It’s important to know that you are not alone when it comes to problems around sex. As a hypnotherapist I have had many clients who at first were embarrassed to talk about their problems around sex. However, as we get to talking, they become much more comfortable and realize how much better they feel knowing that it is actually more common than not to experience some type of sexual dysfunction at some point throughout your life.
Sexual issues are often not physical problems but psychological problems.
For men this can mean they have difficulty getting or maintaining an erection. It is of course important to consult a doctor for any problem which may have a medical origin. At the point that men are seeking this type of therapy, they have often exhausted all medical resources including prescriptions such as Viagra, only to discover that there is nothing physically wrong with them.
Sexual Problems or Issues Do Not Always Have Physical Origins
The clients I have seen for these types of issues have said that their doctor says there is nothing physically wrong with them. This can be strangely disappointing to hear because we look to medicine to fix our physical problems.
It is important to know though that our minds are very powerful. If you have had a traumatic or even just an uncomfortable sexual experience at some time in your life, your subconscious mind may be trying to protect you from further discomfort by inhibiting sexual pleasure in your body.
Your subconscious mind is always trying to protect you from pain or anything which may have caused trauma. That is actually a good thing much of the time, however as we know, it can keep a person stuck when they don’t need to be protected any longer. Typically for men, the problem is usually not trauma but something more simple.
For so many men, all it takes is one or two experiences of not being able to get or sustain an erection and then the worry of that experience happening again, can actually cause the problem to happen over and over. It is really all about brain and body chemistry. If all it takes is a thought to get an erection (sex hormone chemistry), then all it takes is a worrisome thought (fear/adrenaline chemistry), to lose the erection.
With changing social and relationship norms, ethical Non-Monogamy and Open Marriage can be a source of sexual anxiety and performance anxiety for men, women, and couples who are trying a new way to enhance their sexual relationships. Hypnotherapy can help with these issues the same way it helps for any other anxiety or confidence issue. For a comfortable, non-judgemental experience gaining confidence in any lifestyle choice, “A Time For Change Hypnotherapy” is the place to go.
Using hypnosis, your mind can be programmed in a new way to eliminate the old defeating thoughts and replace them with a new confidence when it comes to sex.
