Training - Attachment and Sex Therapy with Couples
2024-12-21 09:00 - 17:00 | Overcoming Believers Church, 211 Harriet Tubman, Knoxville, TN, 37915, United States
The Sexual Attachment Cycle Attachment theory demonstrates that there are three behavioral cycles in a romantic relationship: emotional, sexual, and caretaking. Together, they form the bond between the partners. Sex particularly comprises the excitement and vitality in a romantic relationship. Without it, the relationship can easily fall into jeopardy. In fact, 59 percent of divorces are attributed to sexual difficulties (Scott, Rhoades, Stanley, Allen, & Markman, 2013). Partners who experience sexual difficulties may even wonder if they’re loved or in love, or be tempted to seek affairs. The power of sex in a relationship isn’t simply body parts and physiology; it’s a force of attachment. Therapists need to become versatile in dealing with the cycles simultaneously.
