Myths About Intimacy Coaching: Shouldn't I just know this?!

Understanding the Role of Intimacy Coaching

Intimacy coaching is a profession that we find often faces misunderstandings and misconceptions, you know the wink, the smile, the "why would anyone be interested in that?" As one friend put it.

In Australia, as the field gains traction, it's important to appreciate the true value these sessions offer.  As we always say; Where do we learn about intimacy? Where do we learn to be in our power with love in relationships? That's what inspired us to create our courses, but some people prefer one to one coaching.

Our Intimacy coaching provides individual guidance on emotional, physical, and mental aspects of relationships, helping individuals and couples develop skilled practices and unique leading edge understanding of how to create the relationship you truly want. This article is about some myths we hear alot.

Myth 1: Intimacy Coaching is just about sex, right?

One of the most prevalent myths is that intimacy coaching is solely focused on sex. While sexual practices, mindsets and cultivating your erotic energy are high on our priority lists, intimacy coaching also covers a broader spectrum of skills.

We work on communication skills, how to create emotional intimacy, and developing healthy personal boundaries. Our aim is to guide and support clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship dynamics which have powerful outcomes.

Intimacy coaching is about enhancing overall relational satisfaction and not just the physical aspects. This holistic approach ensures long-term improvements in personal and interpersonal dynamics.

Myth 2: Do you just give advice or solutions?

Another common misconception is that it's our job as intimacy coaches to provide direct advice or solutions to problems.

In reality, we prefer to facilitate and guide a process of self-discovery, helping our clients find their own answers and realise their own solutions. You know yourself better than anyone and we want to support you to take it to the next level. We are experts at doing just that. Not in telling you what we think but helping you realise whats true to you.

Using our highly effective unique techniques, contexts and analogies, plus deep listening, reflective questioning, and personalized exercises,  we help guide individuals and couples get clear what their deeper wants, needs and desires are. We tailor to you, but we provide the framework to succeed.

This client-centered approach we love to use ensures that the solutions are yours tailored to your wants, needs and desires.

Myth 3: Intimacy Coaching Is Only for People with issues. You should be able to figure it out by yourself, right?.

Many believe that intimacy coaching is only for those experiencing difficulties in their relationships and who can't figure it out themselves. In truth, coaching can be beneficial for anyone looking to enhance their connection with themselves or others. There's always blocks and blind spots that we encounter and so much more we can learn to enhance our relationships.  We are all on a learning journey of Self discovery and creating and building a relationship is one of the most power areas for self development.. 

Whether you're seeking to deepen an already strong relationship or explore new facets of personal growth, intimacy coaching offers valuable insights and tools which are applicable to ALL the relationships in your life.

Myth 4: Intimacy Coaching Is Not Professional, it's just a fad.

Some skeptics view intimacy coaching as lacking professionalism or legitimacy and is some kind of new fad. We have both undergone extensive personal and professional development training and certification over a 30 year span.

And of course after 14 years together and having to navigate many different challenges, we have a wealth of personal journey experiences to draw on including the classic pitfalls and blind alleys.
