It is helpful to havea team approach to working through pianful sex and enhancing sex life, especially if that sex life involves a partner. However, not everyone feels comfortable involving their partner, especially at the beginning. If you would feel more comfortable starting individually, we can do that and discuss if bringing in your partner later on would feel comfortable.
