Julie Leatherland Clinical Therapist

         

If you attend a clinic with a sex therapist then you would normally have to be with your partner. Clinical Hypnotherapy is not sex therapy. Clinical Hypnotherapy allows a client to be treated on their own which has significant benefits in terms of reduced nervousness and anxiety.

Clinical Hypnotherapy will have a particular focus depending on whether the problem is an organic sexual problem, that is one that requires medical intervention e.g. if on certain drugs, illness, heart problems, disbetes etc.

Psycho (psychological) sexual disorders exist purely in the mind, and cause a problem between the mind and body connection.  As most sexual problems and issues occur in the mind, so these can be helped by using Clinical Hypnotherapy.  These include erection issues and lubrication, impotence and anorgasmia, premature ejaculation, fantasy and role playing, libido, and much more.

 So how can Clinical Hypnotherapy help?  Since hypnotherapy deals with your subconscious mind,  all sexual activity during Clinical Hypnotherapy takes place only in your imagination.  What you learn through Clinical Hypnotherapy is practiced privately elsewhere.  This is NOT a voyeuristic service, but a therapeutic process.

A common, effective use of Clinical Hypnotherapy is to lower your anxiety. The anticipation of failure (particularly for men anxious about their ability to have or to maintain an erection) brings on anxious feelings. These in turn bring about the failure. Clinical Hypnotherapy ends this vicious circle and replaces the anticipation of failure with the certainty of success and confidence.

Traditional sex therapy methods are more readily accepted by you when in hypnosis because the conscious, judgmental, analytical part of your mind is temporarily set aside. Your subconscious then absorbs the new, positive messages you've asked the hypnotherapist to create. Precisely because hypnotherapy taps into the autonomic nervous system, a person can use it to improve or alter functions that normally happen without conscious control, e.g., a man's erection or a lady's ability to lubricate when sexually aroused.
