— why this matters

Performance anxiety is one of the most common sexual concerns — and one of the most undertreated

Most therapists know the term. Far fewer have a reliable clinical framework for working with it. Sexual performance anxiety sits at the intersection of psychology, physiology, and relationship dynamics — and requires more than standard anxiety interventions.

This course gives you a structured, practical approach grounded in Dr. Westberg’s two decades of clinical experience — including the specific interventions that move clients forward.

— the framework

Four modules — from root causes to practical tools

01

Issues underlying performance anxiety

The psychological, relational, and physiological roots of sexual performance anxiety — what is actually driving the issue beneath the surface-level symptom.

02

Common approaches in performance anxiety

A survey of the existing clinical approaches — what works, what is limited, and where the standard toolkit falls short for this specific presentation.

03

Dr. Westberg’s approach

The Fuck Sex Model applied to performance anxiety — a trauma-informed, holistic framework developed through over a decade of private practice with this client population.

04

Practical techniques

Specific, actionable interventions you can bring into session immediately — tools that address the full picture of what clients experiencing performance anxiety actually need.

— what you will learn

Skills you’ll walk away with

01

Identify the Root

Distinguish between the different underlying drivers of performance anxiety — and assess which is primary for your client.

02

Know What Works — and What Doesn’t

Navigate the existing treatment landscape with clarity — understanding the limits of standard approaches and when to reach for something different.

03

Apply a Holistic Framework

Use the Fuck Sex Model to address performance anxiety in a way that integrates emotional wounding, relationship context, and sexual function together.

04

Use Practical Techniques

Leave with a concrete toolkit of interventions — specific techniques you can introduce in session with clients experiencing performance anxiety.

05

Improve Therapeutic Outcomes

Build the clinical confidence to move beyond symptom management and help clients achieve genuine, lasting change in their sexual lives.

Dr. Marisol G. Westberg

— your instructor

Hi, I’m Dr. Westberg.

I never planned to become a sex therapist. My path started with a question I couldn’t let go of: why do people create meaning through sex in ways that have nothing to do with the sex itself? That question led me to spend over two decades working with couples on the full range of sexual and relational issues.

What I found in clinical practice is that standard therapeutic approaches kept missing something. They focused on techniques and behaviors but never touched the emotional roots — the childhood wounds, attachment injuries, and relationship patterns that actually shape our sexual selves.

This course distills what I’ve learned working with couples like you. The desire gap you’re experiencing isn’t a mystery — it has a structure, it has causes, and it has a path through. I built this to give you that path.
