Sexologist & sexological conversation therapy

Problems with sexuality, sex life and relationships

For most people, love and sexuality are closely linked.

Many find that when there is a crunch in the relationship, there is also a crunch in the sex life and vice versa. But there are also examples of a fantastic relationship and a bad sex life. Or a relationship full of arguments and a dazzling sex life.

It can be difficult to agree and to reconcile and balance the two areas. Especially for psychological problems, illness, crisis, loss, grief, alcohol problems and infidelity . Others have challenges with, for example, sexual identity, sexual values, sexual practice, approaches, rejection, frequency or quality of sex life. It requires dialogue and help from a sexologist and couples therapist.

If the relationship is in crisis, Parterapi-parterapeut.dk helps first and foremost with stabilization. So, for example, frustration, anger, stress, anxiety or depression are handled appropriately, and there is room for more sensitive, heartfelt, loving, intimate and erotic subjects.

Sexological couple therapy strengthens your love for each other and not least helps you find the spark in the bedroom again. That is why Parterapi-parterapeut.dk offers holistic sexological conversation therapy. It includes your individual goals and what you need – relationship, body, health, mindset, psyche and soul.

Sexuality also has six basic functions and is one of the three main areas in the relationship. You can read more about that, methods and much more below.

Get the desire, intimacy & sex life back in the relationship

To keep the spark and to make the sex life work, part of the solution is to talk about the sexual preferences and challenges.

However, professional sexological talk therapy is rarely directly about sex.

It is often more about the communication, the relationship, the interaction and the background for your and your partner’s values, feelings, thoughts and experiences as well as fantasies, dreams and wishes.

It also includes your history, paradigms and mindset.

As soon as dialogue is opened up, trust, closeness and intimacy are opened up in the relationship. It creates space for joy, enjoyment, creativity, play and learning.

A good sex life is just as important as a good relationship and both are crucial for health, reproduction and quality of life.

With the help of a professional sexologist and couples therapist, you and your partner get support to create a safe environment. Together you find a common language and a good tone.

Once the ice is broken, it is experienced as liberating, life-giving, creative and wonderful to talk about sex, sexuality, oneself and the relationship.

Find the spark 

Get flow in love 

Get the desire back and create a better sex life

Get help with contact, relationship and intimacy

Sexological prevention, crisis, treatment & development

You don’t have to feel like there are problems in the bedroom to seek sexology talk therapy.

A good sex life is both preventive and healing. It provides energy, courage and resources to cope with difficult situations, stress and illness.

There are many practical, health, medical, traumatic and psychosocial factors that can threaten sex life and reproduction.

Sex life may be limited, but there is always room for a degree of sexual contact and expression.

Everyone has the right to be recognized for their sexuality, and it is important not to completely shut down sexuality when it is difficult.

Dialogue is essential and talk therapy repairs, maintains and keeps the dialogue going.

An efficient process that works

Regardless of what focus you and your partner choose, or whether you combine couples therapy and sexological talk therapy, you will receive serious and professional talk therapy at eye level.

As a sexologist, Parterapi-parterapeut.dk respects your and your partner’s boundaries, confidentiality and vulnerability. Sexological couple therapy is change-seeking. Therefore, it is important that you are also willing to confront what is difficult and to put action behind the words.

A common prerequisite for sexological talk therapy is stability and a good dialogue. Therefore, many trainees start with framing, clarification and psychological communication.

We are talking about stabilization, openness and recognition. Warmth and humor often come naturally and provide a pleasant and welcome boost.

It must not go slower or faster than everyone can participate.

Sexological conversation therapy is about dialogue

Although problems in the sex life may seem like big problems that are difficult to deal with. Then often not much is needed.

Often it is enough with a little dialogue, clarification and recognition.

Many people think that it can be difficult and shameful to talk about sex. But it is not for a professional sexologist and couples therapist. Here you and your partner will find someone who is used to talking about the sweet, fun, naughty, forbidden and difficult as well as the loving, erotic and practical aspects of sex life.

Sex is both the spice of life and what makes us survive as a species.

Sex is actually hugely uplifting to talk about. Both in relation to the relationship, the situation, the process and the therapy. It brings you closer to each other and opens up differences, understanding, energy, creativity, co-creation and innovation.

Therefore, crises can arise in sex life

Changes and crises in life, such as sex life, can come suddenly or gradually. Without us noticing. It happens that over time we become wiser about ourselves, body and preferences, or that they change with age and our experience and development. Other times, the challenge is that problems have arisen or an involuntary pause in sexual activity. This can be, for example, due to physical and social conditions such as:

  • pregnancy
  • disease
  • abort
  • care
  • alcohol problems
  • betrayal
  • infringement
  • infidelity
  • working life
  • stress
  • angst
  • depression
  • difficulty sleeping
  • relationship problems

Crises in sex life can also be rooted in attachment and relational challenges. Problems with building and maintaining a healthy and authentic attachment as well as good and close relationships. If the sexual challenges relate to attachment problems or family dynamics, there are, among other things, possibility to supplement with imagotherapy.

The erotic power and sexology The erotic force connects the couple and keeps them together. Physically through sex, emotionally through love, mentally through imagination and visions, psychologically through character and relationally through contact, dialogue energy and co-creation. The strength of this force can be different between the parties, just as it can fluctuate over time. Our sexual identity defines us and our relationship to ourselves, our body, the world around us and our time – as an individual and a couple. As a sexologist, Parterapi-parterapeut.dk is of the assumption that the dynamics between us as well as our psyche, sexuality and identity are connected. There are many different ways a couple can relate to and express their energy, sexuality and sexual practices. Sexuality also has six important functions, and the sexual problems are often a mirror of the relational problems and vice versa. Sexuality therefore plays a symbolic role in the relationship, which is not always easy to understand and balance. Many unsuccessfully try to unconsciously adapt their sexuality to the ideals instead of their true selves. Are you interested in getting closer to each other and yourselves and finding your true self? Then  imaginotherapy is  also an option. You can also take a free  couple test if you want a more general overview of how the couple is doing. Sexological conversation therapy, sexuality and practical exercises The method is primarily conversation-oriented. It is not required that you do physical exercises. If you wish, homework can be assigned, which can be done in your private room. These can be both physical and non-physical as well as sexual and non-sexual. Many people make the mistake of talking about sex in bed. When talking about sex, it is often best outside the bedroom and under a coordinated framework such as in the therapeutic room. In the couples therapy room, the dialogue takes place in a safe and appreciative setting. You decide the agenda yourself and which topics you want to work on. The starting point may be sex, but often it’s more about that behind it. So sex is a good topic of conversation. It strengthens your shared space, cohesion and sense of community. It also allows for healing, personal development, creativity, fun, play and learning. The geometry and sexology of love Cf. Robert J. Sternberg, eroticism is one of the three main areas in the relationship. In order for the relationship and sex life to function well, it is important that the two parties create an appropriate balance between:
  • Intimacy, confidentiality and friendship
  • Passion, passion, eroticism and sexuality
  • Commitment, obligation and commitment
You can read about that and much more on the blog The six R’s of sexuality in sexology According to Body, disease and sexuality (2006) by Graugaard, Møhl and Hertoft, sexuality has overall six functions (The six R’s):
  • Reproduction (sex as procreation).
  • Relationship (sex as a relationship and relationship formation).
  • Respect (sex as insight and insight into one’s own and the partner’s boundaries).
  • Rehabilitation / recovery (sex as healing or handling cohabitation problems and reestablishing contact).
  • Recreation (sex as pleasure, play and creativity).
  • Relaxation (sex as relaxation and relaxation).
Sexuality develops during the first seven to nine years of childhood, when many unfortunately experience being violated, shamed or tabooed. These are thus also topics that are taken up in therapy. Sex is as natural as eating, sleeping and breathing. Our sexuality follows us throughout our lives, so why not let it become an integral and confidential part of ourselves and relationships. By talking about sexuality, it is de-tabooed and a natural part of our quality of life. Sex is life-affirming. The sexological toolboxes In sexological conversation therapy, a number of different toolboxes are used, depending on the problem. The narrative methods are e.g. good at helping us tell, understand and rewrite our stories. Gestalt therapeutic methods are often good for the bodily, social, personal, unfinished and forward-looking. It helps us e.g. with contact, self-regulation, integration and authenticity. Image therapy helps us understand our origins, identity, dynamics and hidden strategies. And the cognitive methods help us i.a. with understanding our thoughts, paradigms and mindset and behavior around sexuality. Yoga, couple yoga and tantra help create connection, enjoyment, depth and wholeness between body, mind, psyche, body and sexuality. The PLISSIT model in sexological conversation therapy The sexological interviews are conducted based on the internationally recognized PLISSIT model, which was developed by Jack Annon in 1976. The starting point is that trust and permission to talk about and work with the relevant topics is first built (1. Permission). Below, the framework for the dialogue is determined – i.a. what to talk about, speed and how personal the dialogue must be, as well as language. Information (2. Limited Information) and guidance (3. Specific Suggestions) are then offered. It typically takes place in a mutual and co-creative dialogue that varies over teaching/psychoeducation, coaching, psychotherapy and conversation. The first three phases resolve the immediate challenges and the remaining are handled through psychotherapy/psychosocial therapy (4. Intensive Therapy). The UGU model in sexological conversation therapy Then there is the UGU model, which is a model for dialogic information. U stands for exploring what the client wants to know. G stands for relevant information being given in a neutral way. And U stands for, an exploration of the client’s reaction and relationship to the new information. If the challenges also include somatic or other specialized subjects, there is collaboration with other specialists and the health system. Body, body therapy and sexuality No two people or couples are alike. Some are mostly into talk therapy and others need something more physical. Others again a combination. The sexological talk therapy can therefore be combined with body therapy. As an examined body and gestalt therapist as well as certified Access Consciousness Body Process Facilitator and Access Consciousness Bars Facilitator, we offer both Access Body Processes, Access Bars treatments and Access Bars certifications as well as Energetic Body Process. In relation to sexuality, Access Bars can help you to be present in the present and down into your body. To find peace, relax, let go of thoughts, lower barriers and adjust the level of control. How would it feel if both you and your partner were fully present and acknowledged your body? In addition to finding greater peace and tranquility, Bars opens up your opportunity to work with ageing, body and sexuality as well as creating connections, ways of life and spirituality. Depending on your readiness, Bars can also support communication, creativity, hopes and dreams as well as joy, sorrow and healing. Energetic Body Process / Energetic Facelift is a particularly loving, healing and life-giving body process that actually contains 30 energies and body processes. It can therefore be the next step when you have become familiar with Access Body Therapy. You never know what you as a client are prepared to change, but Energetic Body Process/ Energetic Facelift has helped many clients for integration, healing and change. Also by e.g. sexual inhibitions, trauma and dissociation. Finally, Parterapi-parterapeut.dk can supplement with yoga, yoga therapy, couples yoga and tantra.

I am an examined psychotherapist with a four-year degree from a European accredited institute, where sexuality is one of four basic elements in emotional life. After this, I also have additional training in sexuality. Since then I have been trained as a yoga teacher and within tantra.

In addition to being examined in conversation therapy, as Access Consciousness Bars Body Process Facilitator and Access Consciousness Bars Facilitator I am also certified in body therapy. In addition, I am a certified and internationally trained couple’s therapist, further trained in sexology and a member of the Danish Association of Sexologists.

I specialize in couple therapy, sexuality and infidelity – sexological couple therapy – and have had practice since 2002.

As a sexological couples therapist, I receive ongoing sexological supervision and continuing education in sexuality. Within sexology, there are many subject specialties and the individual sexologist has his own educational background, experience and specialisms.

My specialty as a sexological couples therapist is the psychosocial (social and psychological) aspects of sexuality in adults in relationships and sexuality in connection with adultery.

  • Increased sexual activity and sex addiction
  • Porn and chat addiction

Since I typically get inquiries about sex addiction in connection with adultery, I have written about the subject under adultery.

Sex addiction can be just as difficult as drug addiction, and every year many people lose their jobs and relationships due to abuse and addiction.

In the case of adultery and some forms of sexual practice, sexological questions can also arise in connection with financial conditions, pregnancy and venereal diseases / sexually transmitted diseases (STD = Sexually Transmitted Disease and STI = Sexually Transmitted Infections).

It is very different which subjects the clients bring up.

Everything is welcome.

Some only want couples therapy, after which it quickly boosts their sex life. Others want to work directly with their sexual practice, after which they immediately experience a positive effect and flow in their love life.

Most people are surprised by how little it takes to ignite the emotions and develop the physical dimension of sex life. Some even find or develop a tantric and spiritual dimension via sexology.

The therapy can also help the parties to balance your physical and emotional sexuality. Along the way, you also learn how they can let go of some of the control, become more open, handle vulnerability and set boundaries, as well as create a balance between giving and taking.

Sex life, like so much else, is controlled by our mind, mindset and paradigm. Some relationships are thus deeply programmed into our paradigm in the subconscious. If it turns out to be a blockage, it will require a mindshift and a reprogramming of the paradigm. If there is a need for a major paradigm shift, read more in the menu under Coaching.
