When applied in the context of relationship therapy, a CBT-informed approach focuses on addressing cognitive and behavioral factors that may contribute to sexual concerns or dysfunctions. 

1. Identifying Negative Thought Patterns:
   CBT in  therapy involves helping clients recognize and challenge negative thoughts or beliefs related to sexuality. This may include addressing cognitive distortions or irrational beliefs that contribute to sexual anxieties.
2. Behavioral Experiments:
   This involves experimenting with new behaviors, thoughts, or responses in a safe and controlled manner.
3. Education and Psychoeducation:
   CBT-informed sex therapy often includes an educational component where therapists provide information about sexual anatomy, functioning, and the physiological aspects of sexual response. Psychoeducation helps clients develop a more accurate understanding of sexuality.
4. Skills Training:
   Communication skills, relaxation exercises, sensate focus (gradual touch exercises), and other behavioral strategies aimed at enhancing sexual satisfaction.
5. Goal Setting:
   Collaboratively setting and working towards specific, measurable, and achievable goals is a common aspect of CBT. I encourage you to come and participate in our body movement classes where combines with whole body wellness, you can benefit. 
6. Homework Assignments:
   These assignments may involve practicing new behaviors or implementing coping strategies between sessions to reinforce and generalize the therapeutic work.
7. Mindfulness and Sensate Focus:
   These techniques help clients become more aware of their bodies, sensations, and emotions in a non-judgmental way.
8. Addressing Performance Anxiety:
   CBT can be effective in addressing performance anxiety related to sexual concerns.
