From Incompatibility to Sexual Blooming
An 8-week group therapy journey for couples struggling with desire discrepancy
For whom is this program and what’s in it?
- Do you find that you and your partner have different needs in terms of sex and intimacy?
- Does the discrepancy in desire for sex and intimacy weigh heavily on your relationship?
- Are you afraid that you are “just not compatible” in sex?
- Have you tried to implement quick fixes or to settle for “good enough”?
- Are you worried that a long-term relationship is just meant to end in a dead bedroom? Or conversely, does this area seem to “just work” for other couples?
- Are you willing to look deeper for a fulfilling sexual life for both of you and strengthen your intimate bond?
If you answered positively on one or more of these questions, this 8-week group therapy program for couples might be your answer.
In sessions of 3 hours every week over 8 weeks, we will embark on a journey together with 3-5 couples to debunk paralyzing myths about sex, develop skills for an optimal sexual life and bond with other couples over the fascinating (and at times trying) aspects of what it means to be truly intimate with our partners.
We will cover various topics such as presence, authenticity, communication, vulnerability, eroticism, curiosity & play, trust and touch. These will function as windows into learning through experience inside and outside of the group.
In between sessions, we give homework assignments
(Please note that even though we engage in experiments and exercises, there will be no nudity nor sexual contact during the sessions)
Price
The entire program costs 35,000 CZK per couple. This comes down to less than 1300 CZK per hour per couple for the entire program!
This includes:
- Eight 3-hour sessions in group
- A 60 min intake session
- A 60 min couple integration session after the group therapy
- A 60 min follow-up session 6 months after the group therapy
- Coffee, tea and snacks
(There is a possibility of paying in parts. Inquire with the therapists for more information.)
When?
Starting in spring (dates TBD), the sessions will be held weekly in a location in Prague.
Why group therapy?
Our approach is unique in the sense that we diverge from the One Therapist, One Couple framework. We believe that in a group setting the support is tremendously increased and that the possibility to learn from one another’s struggles, motivations and successes is a treasure best not left unearthed.
There is room to share in the group, as much as you want to! Nobody will be forced to extend beyond their consensual limit, but we will challenge you to take risks.
Our approach is based on Yalom’s principles of group therapy and on the research of the Optimal Sexual Experiences team of Peggy Kleinplatz.
