Psychosexual therapy
Psychosexual therapy is a type of psychotherapy aimed at exploring, understanding and addressing the psychological and emotional aspects of sexual relationships and sexual identity. This method helps people to better understand themselves, their experiences and overcome difficulties related to sexual function, relationships or psychological trauma that affect sexuality.
