Exploring Sensate Focus: Mindfulness Practices in Sex Therapy

In this presentation, Jordan Rullo, Ph.D., examines the case of Kelly and James, a conservative couple who are dissatisfied with their sexual relationship. Dr. Rullo explains how to cultivate mindfulness during sex and outlines its positive impacts. She focuses on different types of sexual arousal and how sensate focus can aid in treatment.
Here are the most important highlights from the video:
There are two different types of sexual arousal, physiological and mental.
Mindfulness, or being fully present, is crucial for both physiological and mental arousal during intimacy.
