I have a few medical problems at the moment and I have been advised to see one of these therapists. Has anyone ever had any dealings or know what they are about as I cant seem to find information out about them!

Thanks

I do sort of. It was of my mother's duties as a doctor specialising in women's health. I didn't actually talk to her about this but I read the books she used to lend to patients.

If you have some sort of sexual trauma or problem with sex (usually, as far as I know) they are a type of therapist who specialise in that area.

not sure what they actually do though, in a session - I have been on the waiting list for ages

erm, well any therapy to do with sex and things really I guess... I guess you can see one if you are an addict also?

Yes they talk you through whatever your sexual problems are. There is a certain amount of practical homework as it were.

No No, I was suspected of having endometriosis (sp?) and one of the symtoms was pain during sex, and I was refered on to one of these (amongst other things)
