​Erectile Dysfunction

​Erectile Dysfunction



​Erectile Dysfunction (ED) can significantly interfere with your life, self-esteem, and relationship(s). While there might be real medical reasons for your ED struggles, sometimes performance anxiety is a significant contributor. Treatment for ED is twofold. At first, it will be beneficial to rule out any medical conditions that might be the cause. Visit with a specialist (urologist, etc.) rather than a general medical practitioner. Second, we’d address any mental and emotional factors, such as performance anxiety, relationship issues, etc.
 
If you choose to address ED through clinical sex therapy, the therapeutic process will ensure your medical treatment. Sex therapists often coordinate with other medical providers, if appropriate, to address the medical aspect of the issue. If you choose not to involve your medical provider, your medical results should be included in the process. If all medical conditions are ruled out, clinical sex therapy will address:

  • Health and lifestyle
  • Comorbid disorder(s) (depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse, etc.)
  • Relationship issues
  • World view and belief systems surrounding sexuality
  • Misinformation
  • Sexual skills
  • Performance anxiety
  • Sexual confidence
 
Essentially, we want to consider predisposing, precipitating, and maintaining factors coupled with a safe and confidential environment. For some quick info about ED, see the below resources:
