Sensate Focus Therapy
Summary of Treatment: Sensate focus therapy centers on touching and caressing. This helps to emphasize focusing on physical sensations that one experiences rather than on one’s own thoughts. Those thoughts that can be distracting and lead to feeling self-conscious. Initially, an individual is told to refrain from sexual intercourse with only focusing on physical touch. This allows not only individuals, but also couples to learn awareness that is associated with pleasure other than penetration. It is said that sensate focus therapy increases the intimacy connection.
