Cognitive neuroscientist/sex therapist Dr. Nan Wise highlights the importance of sexual potential as a key component of overall wellbeing throughout the lifespan. She expands the notion of sexual potential to a model of erotic enlivenment that does not restrict sexuality to always include genital functioning or orgasmic activities. This model extends the concept of sexual wellbeing as a form of emotional wellbeing, stemming from a healthy balance of the brain/mind/body core wired-in emotional systems. She also details an approach to the treatment of sexual and affective disorders that focuses on working with the embodied manifestations of imbalances in the brain’s core-wired-in emotional systems. This training focuses on specific client cases, and how affective balance treatments can be used to effectively work with core emotional imbalances.
