The Guide to Choosing a Sexual Therapist

The document talks about the process of accompanying healthy sexuality but is suitable for any therapeutic process whatsoever.


In light of recent events, I have decided to write this critical document to help anyone choose the most suitable therapist/facilitator/guide for their needs.

This document is addressed to women but can also benefit men. Unfortunately, men can also be harmed in treatments/sessions. This guide focuses on the process of accompanying someone toward healthy sexuality but applies to any therapeutic process.

You've decided to embark on a journey with your sexuality and body, and you've chosen a treatment that involves touch.

How do you choose who to go to?

Here are some essential things to consider:

Pause and Reflect: Do you want to go to a man or a woman? If you analyze things, list the pros and cons for each.

Not everyone who calls themself a therapist is indeed such a person. (I will continue in the masculine form for convenience only, but of course, what I write refers to both genders).

Pay attention - Therapists have undergone appropriate training, such as psychotherapy. Someone without such training should not legally or ethically call themselves a therapist. They might be a facilitator, guide, or teacher, but not a therapist.

Why Does This Matter? It matters what kind of process you want to go through. Therefore...

Do Your Homework: Learn as much about your chosen facilitator/guide/therapist as possible. What exactly do they do? What have they studied? What qualifications do they have, and from whom? If they have a website, great! If not, a business page. If they don't have either, reconsider...

Reach Out: Talk on the phone. Have an introductory meeting. This is especially important if you are going into a process, especially if it involves touch. You wouldn't let someone you don't know touch your body, let alone intimate areas.

Remember: Any such process (even Yoni massage!) is a deep emotion.

Personal Recommendations Are Great, But... Still, do your homework! Just because someone is suitable for your friend doesn't mean they are ideal for you. (I've heard many stories...)

Pay attention! that before the meeting/treatment, you receive clarification of what exactly is going to happen. Ensure you receive a clear explanation of what will happen in the session. Ideally, this should be in writing, something you read, sign, and keep a copy of.

* What Should Be Included in This Document? Duration and cost of the treatment, the practitioner's qualifications, exactly what will happen in the session, and even potential scenarios (e.g., there may be touch in intimate areas). Also, you should be asked if you are receiving emotional or medicinal treatment (not everyone is trained to work with post-trauma, for example, or with people with emotional complexities).

Important!!! The document should state that you can STOP the process anytime, even if you're "in the middle." You can say no, stop, enough, at any moment. Ensure the facilitator/therapist will ask you how you feel throughout, especially before any touch and even more so before touching intimate areas (chest, buttocks, vulva).


You must know! No Penetration in Sexual Touch Therapy: None! No such session should meet anyone's needs, not even yours (e.g., a professional therapist/facilitator will not penetrate you even if you say that's what you want).

Take a moment to listen to your intuition. It's always good...

I truly hope this helps. No one must get hurt while trying to help themselves or grow. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
