Sex Therapy: It would first be important to have a medical check up to make sure there isn't any problems with physical functioning. Then sex therapy would be approached by examining the beliefs, thoughts, feelings and emotions connected to sexual arousal and sexual functioning.

Arousal Disorder: It happens that arousal is the most difficult problem to treat in sex therapy. Your therapist will likely explore your past history, beliefs and upbringing. Your therapist may also take a good look at your relationship and any lingering issues which might be getting in the way.
