      <image:title>Blog - Sensate Focus: Why Trying Less Often Leads to More in Sex - Overview</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many couples discover that the harder they try to fix their sex life, the more pressure and anxiety they feel. Sensate Focus offers a counterintuitive alternative: stop trying to make arousal happen and redirect attention to simple physical sensation instead. In this article, I explain why this paradox works, how Sensate Focus functions as an attentional discipline rather than a technique, and why it plays a foundational role in my sexual intimacy coaching at WIMI.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Since transparency matters, here is who I am. I am a married Roman Catholic. Many clients appreciate that I understand traditional values and committed marriage. But I never impose my faith on anyone. I have worked with non Catholic Christians, clients from other religions, and clients with no religious background at all. I am also politically conservative. At the same time, I have coached people across the political spectrum. Respect goes both ways, and it creates great work.</image:caption>
