When Your Body Shuts Down During Intimacy: Reconnecting at Your Own Pace

You wouldn’t know it, because people really don’t talk about it. But many women experience a disconnect during sexual intimacy.

Sometimes it feels out of body – like the mind is leaving the scene to go elsewhere. Other times, it might feel like you’re literally counting down until the moment is over. It can feel overstimulating – like there’s so much happening at one time and you’re not quite sure where to set your attention. It can feel numbing, like a kiss on the vulva would feel no different to kiss on your arm. It can even feel painful, like a sharp-edged knife is being placed somewhere it has no business being.

If this sounds similar to your experience, then this group is for you.

The research keeps telling us group therapy is just as – if not more – beneficial than one-to-one therapy. Come try it out. When Your Body Shuts Down During Intimacy: Reconnecting at Your Own Pace – next cohort: Spring 2027. An 8-session women’s intimacy support group to help you through sexual anxiety.

How will this group work?

Our Women’s Intimacy Support Groups are kept intentionally small to maintain a sense of comfort and privacy. Through keeping group sizes small, we ensure there is space for all voices to be heard. We do this so that by the time you leave, you can really feel like you’ve gotten something for yourself.

There are a few key types of therapy this women’s support group pulls on to support with navigating sexual anxiety and reconnecting with intimacy:

1. Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
2. Narrative Therapy (NT)
3. Emotion Focussed Therapy (EFT)

Rates & structure

We have two payment options available:

• Pay in full: $720 before the group begins.
• Pay weekly: $180 is due before the group begins to confirm your spot, followed by $90 weekly payments during the group. Your initial $180 is applied toward the cost of the group, so you will not pay more for choosing the payment plan.

At $90 per session, group therapy offers a more accessible price point than individual therapy, while providing its own unique therapeutic experience through shared learning, reflection, and connection with others.

Before joining the group, participants will also complete a separate 90-minute intake and assessment session ($270).

Sliding scale options may be available on a very limited basis, through an application process.

Insurance

If you have health insurance, group therapy is often covered. We completely understand the insurance process can be overwhelming and we’re happy to help you through it as best we can. Connect with us if you have specific questions!
