Sensate Focus is a well-established, evidence-based approach that helps shift intimacy from performance pressure to presence, curiosity, and connection.

For expanded guidance — including step-by-step variations for solo practice, adaptations for victim-survivors of sexual trauma, trans and gender diverse people, and neurodivergent individuals — explore our full Self-Guided Sensate Focus Course.
