What Happened to My Sex Life?
A Sex Therapist’s Guide to Reclaiming Lost Desire, Connection, and Pleasure
by Kate Balestrieri
 

Sex therapist Kate Balestrieri reveals the twenty most common problems that extinguish desire—and how to reclaim a thriving sex life.

At some point in nearly every person’s life, they experience a loss of desire. Sometimes there’s a catalyzing event—stress at work, a fight with your partner, or sexual harassment. Often, the problem is internal as a person loses touch with themselves and what they want. Dr. Kate Balestrieri, licensed sex therapist, founder of Modern Intimacy, and host of Get Naked with Dr. Kate, is here to help.

In this book, Dr. Kate identifies more than a dozen of the most common reasons people show up in her therapy room, asking What Happened to My Sex Life? With understanding and compassion, she reassures readers that no, they’re not broken—and they will feel desire again. Ranging from internal loss of desire (“Why don’t I feel anything?”) to relationship issues (“Am I a partner or a parent?”), the practical advice and insightful resolutions in this book will help readers get their desire—and sex life—back.

Dr. Kate Balestrieri is a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist focused on helping people heal from trauma and addiction, improve relationships, and have better sex lives. She is the founder of Modern Intimacy, a counseling practice that operates in Los Angeles, Miami, and Chicago, and a passionate advocate for mental health, relational and sexual health, and wellness. Dr. Kate works with individuals and couples, primarily around treating trauma, substance abuse and addiction, intimacy disorders (sex/love addiction and sexual dysfunction), eating disorders and body image issues, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety.
