Consultation Process and Evaluation
The initial evaluation session typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. It provides a comprehensive assessment, including individual psychology, couple dynamics, and biological factors, alongside an in-depth analysis of sexual arousal function. The evaluation is essential for understanding your sexual functioning and challenges, laying the groundwork for a personalized therapeutic plan.

Therapeutic Approach
Once the evaluation is complete, we develop a tailored therapeutic approach focusing on learning to manage sexual arousal, emotions, and communication. This process integrates Sexocorporel therapy with broader psychotherapeutic work to help you achieve a fulfilling sexual life. Exercises related to sexual arousal are always done privately by the patient.
