When partners communicate better and feel more emotionally connected, it is natural to expect their sexual relationship to improve too. Often, it does not. Sex and desire are shaped by cultural conditioning, gender roles, trauma, shame, pleasure, consent, identity and each partner’s relationship with their own sexuality.
Yet many clinicians and coaches do not feel equipped to lead them with confidence. Sex & RLT offers a relational framework for understanding what is happening beneath the presenting problem—and for helping clients speak about desire with greater honesty, skill and care.
Traditional approaches often focus on individual dysfunction or technique. Sex & RLT examines how each partner’s sexual stance contributes to the couple’s sexual dance and how First and Second Consciousness shape connection.
Bring RLT skills into conversations about desire, trauma, consent, pleasure and repair—with attention to referral when deeper trauma or specialist work is appropriate.
Five recorded classes build a practical RLT framework for sex, desire, pleasure and repair.

As she worked with couples and sexuality, Anna found that the way sex was discussed in trainings—and Western culture at large—didn’t match what she was seeing in her office. She drew on her history of training in feminist and cultural studies, integrated with her training as a systemic therapist, to find a way of working with couples—and sex and sexuality specifically—that really took root when she began studying with Terry Real in 2012.
Belinda’s therapy approach is to get to the heart of things thoroughly and efficiently. It is compassionate and active, collaborative and directive, giving clients the help they need to make their lives and relationships as good as they deserve to be.
