Are there limitations to Sex Therapy?
As with any therapy for personal or behavioral difficulties, sex therapy has its limitations. Although usually brief and effective with most sexual concerns, sex therapy does not offer a miracle cure for all interpersonal problems. Success of treatment depends on many factors, not the least of which is the nature of the problem, the motivation of the client, the therapeutic goals, and the therapist’s skills. The motivated prospective client and or couple should choose a therapist carefully and establish realistic goals early in counseling. If you are not comfortable with your therapist or feel that the therapist has set unrealistic goals for you, discuss these concerns with her/him. All therapy depends on trust and mutual respect, but this is particularly true when working with intimate issues of sexuality.
