This on-demand course demonstrates how combining Gottman Method interventions with sex therapy addresses the interplay between relational and sexual satisfaction. Clinicians will learn a 3-step approach to integrate Gottman Method with sex therapy, assessment tools and sensate focus techniques to help couples deepen both emotional and sexual intimacy.
Relationship satisfaction is necessary for sexual satisfaction, meaning that you need to treat the relationship issues before you can treat the sexual issues. Yet, research supports that improving relational issues, such as emotional connection, is a necessary but not sufficient ingredient for sexual satisfaction. In other words, helping a couple have a strong emotional connection is not going to improve their sexual satisfaction magically. Therapists need to go beyond the usual interventions to effectively help their couples build a satisfying sexual relationship. This presentation will focus on how to integrate Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) with Sex Therapy to improve sexual satisfaction.
