In this webinar Sex-Positive Therapist, Sex-Researcher and Author Galen Fous MTP, will introduce the principles of Sexual Integration Therapy (SIT).

SIT is an emerging sex therapy model, developed over 20 years, that supports clients to explore the depths of sexual ecstasy and intimacy their sexuality offers, while resolving the internalized shames, fears, compulsions, and traumas that may resist its fullest expression.

The webinar will include quantitative and qualitative data sets from Galen’s ground-breaking research on the psychological dynamics of sexual fantasy. With over 8000 participants, the research reveals the depths and range of human sexual desire, as well as what inhibits its honest, shame-free expression. There will also be 30 minutes of real-time case-study material from client SIT sessions.

 SIT supports clients to:

  • Claim their birthright to be fully expressed sexual beings in their life and relationships, in ways that are informed, consensual and negotiated.
  • Address internalized shames, fears, harsh sex-negative judgments, or past traumas that interfere with or inhibit the honest, embodied, confident expression of their sexual desires.
  • Shift compulsive, secretive, unhealthy sexual behaviors, often labeled sex/porn addiction, into honest, confident, authentic sexual expression.
  • Integrate their authentic sexuality into their everyday life in a way that is in integrity with their values, responsibilities, agreements, and relationships.
  •  Embrace and explore the ecstatic depths of pleasure their authentic sexuality offers in a mature, responsible fashion.

SIT considers that when a client learns to claim their innate sexual birthright as a human being, they will realize there is nothing about their authentic sexual nature that deserves to be shamed, feared, nor hidden. In fact, their sexuality can and should be held up and celebrated as the gift it is, for themselves…and their partners.

SIT grew out of recognizing there was a need for alternative therapeutic support models for clients with sexual concerns who did not respond successfully to a solely cognitive/behavioral diagnostic model, nor a pathologizing addiction treatment model.

Sexual Integration Therapy takes a comprehensive approach that draws from clinical, depth, analytical, positive, somatic and transpersonal theories of psychology. SIT also utilizes imaginal right-brain symbolic practices (versus cognitive left-brain) to access meaningful unconscious content that may be important to understanding real world behaviors that impact the client’s healthy sexual expression.

SIT also introduces new theoretical concepts such as Sexual Authenticity Disorder, the Personal Erotic Myth,  the Psychological Structures of the Sexual Unconscious, Sexual Embodiment, Sex is Friction – Eros is Myth, Sexual Integration, the Body as Analog of the Unconscious, and much more.

We will also review quantitative and qualitative data sets and correlations from the Personal Erotic Myth Research Surveys, highlighting the range and depths of people’s sexual fantasies, the effects of porn viewing on relationship satisfaction, impacts of early age sexual shaming or trauma, age of sexual awakening and much more from the 8000 survey participants.
