Hypnotherapy is an Effective Method of Increasing Sexual-Incompatibility

Sexual incompatibility is an issue which impairs many relationships. A study undertaken by Relate in 2015 discovered that less than half of UK adults were satisfied with their sex lives. In a more recent article in the Independent relationship counsellor Peter Saddington cited differing levels of libido as one of the most common problems in our relationships.

Sexual incompatibility can leave us feeling lonely, frustrated and depressed. These feelings have a negative impact on our well-being. Unresolved sexual incompatibility creates tension in our relationships and leads to partners drifting apart and even embarking on affairs. Sexual incompatibility can result in the irretrievable breakdown of a relationship.

Why do we become sexually incompatible?

In the early days of a relationship, we usually can’t get enough of our partner. We are charged with sexual desire and the need to satisfy and impress our partner with our sexual prowess. Our initial lust is further heightened by the surge of the neurotransmitter dopamine which increases feelings of desire and arousal. As we settle down into a steady relationship and become more familiar with our partner, love and companionship tend to oust lust and longing and our dopamine levels drop.

Most of us experience temporary periods of loss of libido. Common causes of loss of libido include; pregnancy, childbirth, extreme stress, hormonal changes, depression, ageing, illness and some prescribed drugs.

Sexual incompatibility can arise when one partner experiences an unexpected loss of libido, lack of sexual desire which continues for an extended period or frequent periods of low libido.

Qualms over our Sexual compatibility may have loomed at the start of the relationship. These niggles are often dismissed with the expectation of becoming more sexually compatible over time. The roots of sexual incompatibility often lie in the differing beliefs, backgrounds, expectations and desires of each partner.

Why hypnotherapy is an effective method of increasing sexual compatibility

Hypnotherapy addresses beliefs, thinking and feelings in the subconscious mind. Sexual incompatibility may be a result of unresolved events, accumulated stress or habits which have formed over time.

Hypnotherapy relaxes the conscious mind whilst simultaneously stimulating the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind is targeted with positive suggestions that change thoughts feelings and behaviour.
