Mindfulness for Help with Premature Ejaculation
For men who are dealing with premature ejaculation, therapy can help. In this sex therapy process, mindfulness is a critical part to any treatment plan for a client. Helping you connect your mind to your body can help with several issues. Men who are dealing with premature ejaculation can’t always identify the sensation that tells them that they’re reaching a point of no return. However, there are others who can, when they are better able to tap into it.
There are also men who are contending with levels of intense activation in relation to sex. They don’t know that their body is telling its own story. Thus, in therapy for premature ejaculation, you have to start to work to learn about this story, where it comes from, and how it needs to resolve.
For men who are dealing with this, shame, feelings of isolation, and frustration can reign supreme. However, this problem is usually quite treatable.
Sex therapy can offer techniques to help with all sorts of sexual dysfunctions. One of the ways that sex therapy can help is through the use of mindfulness. Mindfulness the building of a body-mind connection. It’s an understanding of sensations and emotions, as they are experienced within the body. It’s a focus on the present, rather than the future or the past. This requires practice, and sometimes patience as well.
Physical symptoms that represent a dysfunction are quite obvious, so they stand out. However, people can misunderstand emotions and how these emotions can lead to these physical outcomes. Therapy is one way that people can learn about this. Through the therapy process, emotions can be identified and the origins can be traced in a way that can reduce shame and enhance sexual openness and confidence.
Sometimes there is also a lack of sensation that can lead to sexual dysfunctions. There are times where people don’t have a mindful understanding of how their bodies respond to sexual activation. There might be more subtle types of activation that occur, which go unrecognized. When people have no problems, these sensations and experiences can go without being recognized with no issue at all. However, when there are problems, understanding these processes in the body can help. This understanding can open up new responses and enhance the personal experiences of sex.
Through the process of mindfulness, men can also unpack meaning that they have developed around sexuality, because of the problem they’re experiencing. For example, when there are multiple negative experiences linked to premature ejaculation, there could be a meaning that you can only be accepted sexually when you overcome this problem. Although it’s likely that you’ll overcome this problem, this doesn’t mean that you’re unworthy of sex, or even love. Mindfulness can help to separate these links.
When people separate some of these meanings, they tend to have more of the sexual experiences that they’re wanting to have. There is more freedom, and the body is allowed to experience this freedom of experience, sensation and emotions in a more open way.
