Sex therapy helped us talk about intimacy again

After the birth of their first child, intimacy had disappeared. They both missed it, but talking about it felt impossible. One felt rejected, the other felt pressured.

What was going on

In therapy they learned it wasn't about sex, but about safety. One needed space to feel like a woman again, not just a mother. The other wanted connection but didn't know how to ask for it without creating pressure.

The result

After 5 sessions they were openly talking again about what they needed. Intimacy returned, at their own pace.

"We didn't need sex therapy. We needed a safe space to be honest again."

Do you recognize this?

Intimacy doesn't just disappear and it doesn't just come back either. At Praktijk de Liefde we help couples talk about sex and connection again. No waiting list, often seen within a week.
