A Gentle, Mindful Approach to Rebuilding Intimacy

Sensate Focus is a therapeutic technique developed by sex therapists Masters and Johnson to help couples reduce performance pressure, anxiety, and disconnection around physical intimacy. It emphasizes present-moment awareness, non-demand touch, and mutual exploration—creating space for safety, connection, and healing.

This approach is especially effective for couples navigating the aftermath of infidelity, low desire, avoidance, or the impact of pornography use.

How It Works:

• Step-by-step exercises that gradually reintroduce safe, non-sexual and then sensual touch

• Focus on physical and emotional presence, not performance or orgasm

• Reduces anxiety, increases trust, and restores emotional closeness

• Couples learn to give and receive touch without pressure or expectation

Sensate Focus is often integrated into your treatment plan when intimacy repair is part of the goal. It fosters reconnection, communication, and comfort in your shared physical space.
