Desire Discrepancy and Inhibited Sexual Desire with Couples

presented by Gail Guttman, LCSW

Desire discrepancy and inhibited sexual desire is a normal part of most relationships and one of the most common sexual issues that we see as therapists working with couples. This webinar will offer a systemic approach; exploring the relationship dance, medical issues and impacts of childhood on sexual desire. Adding the cognitive, behavioral sexual knowledge can help therapists give their clients hope and practical strategies to help them.
