Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hey folks Anyone ever work with decreased libido. This is a young man (20). Official Dx is generalized anxiety disorder, panic attacks, and depression. That’s enough to lay the foundation for libido problems, but he’s just had the courage to talk to me about it. He’s trying to break through some of his social anxiety, but then he’s faced with other issues like premature orgasm which feeds into the anxiety disorder. He’s responded extremely well to NFB and hand warming. Any thoughts on what placements and frequencies could restore his confidence with intimacy issues?

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 , So the problem, at base, doesn't sound like decreased libido as much as premature ejaculation. There is probably too rapid a run up of sympathetic activation--which would be consistent with the emotional issues you mentioned. Calming down the sympathetic drive would be a good idea, and you might have him do some visualization during Alpha/Theta of a slower and more patient build-up with his partner.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Thanks Pete Hadn't thought of alpha/theta, and he sort of threw the issue out in about the last 10 minutes of the session, so was difficult to understand what was the real problem. My guess is that your right on target, premature ejaculation and an overexcited system in general. As I said, he's done really well in NFB, and hand warming. Will keep you up to date.
