IN SEARCH OF THE PRIAPOS MAN

We are all sexual beings and sex is essential part of who we are. I the last forty years , the old chauvinistic notions of male superiority ans sexual selfishness have been properly discarded as hurtful relics of the past.

It is now time to accept and be proud of who we are and to develop new ways of being and living with our male sexuality. This group enables men to explore their sexual views and beliefs about sex in a confidential, trusting and safe environment.

The group will be a mix of information, learnt skills, techniques and learning from each other.

A weekly /fortnightly group from 10.00 to 12.30 on Saturday morning in Clifton. starting in October.

Cost £200 for 8 sessions

Mindfulness is simply moment to moment awareness paying attention, being non-judgemental: "non-doing". It is non-deliberate, non-evaluative sustained awareness of physical and mental states. It is based on eastern spiritual of 2000+ years . Emphasises an open  awareness to mental and physical processes.[Kabat-Zinn 1990]

Mindfulness has been used successfully in pain and stress clinics,Kabat Zinn 1990 , in America for over 20 years. It has also been well researched studies show that mindfulness can reduce anxiety and increase positive thinking.

Mindfulness has been shown to be particularly helpful for people with Anxiety, stress, obsessional thinking, depression, chronic pain, skin complaints and chaotic thinking. 

As a Psycho sexual and relationship therapist I am interested in exploring how regular mindfulness practice combined with existing CBT strategies can have a direct affect on men with premature ejaculation and erection problems. Also making love mindfully may reduce sexual boredom and increase more intimate sex.

There are four types of mediation, walking,sitting, full body scan and Yoga exercises. A minimum of 15 Min's to 45Min's on a daily basis. This clearly takes discipline and the client needs support to achieve this.

Mindfulness is not a rescue technique people have to find their own straights and do this for themselves.

It can be stressful as the discipline can be hard work.It needs conscious effort to practice .

It is not a quick fix

It is recognizing that stress is normal and unavoidable

It can create inner peace and harmony. It can help a person cope with life changes

Life coaching is about change, about making change.

A life coach is a magician of change who takes the cards you have and helps you to play your hand better,or sometimes to change the rules of the game, or find a better game.Changes come from a dream of something better.

Life coaching engages your imagination and at the same time is immensely practical in the real world. It deals with goals and achievements. It links the world of dreaming with the world of reality.

Life coaching is

Personal Coaching involves a relationship between you and your coach that's tailored to to your needs and aims.

Goal-focused You determine the goals of the coaching.

Facilitative The coach's role is a supportive one, helping you in the processes involved in working towards your goal.

Action based Coaching is practical action led and is goal and outcome based.

Life coaching is most frequently used by people who have an awareness that their life has drifted off track, that they have lost their sense of direction, or that their life is out of balance.
