Talking treatments. Remedies for Erectile Dysfunction.

If your erection problems are linked to your thoughts or emotions, and not a physical problem, your doctor may suggest a talking treatment (psychotherapy).You can see a therapist on your own or with your partner.

If you have psychosexual therapy (also called sex therapy), a counselor listens to your problems and makes suggestions. For example, they may help you find ways of being relaxed with your partner, or teach you to understand the feelings you get from your body during sex.

Interpersonal therapy involves talking about your relationships and important events in your life.

Cognitive behavior therapy is a practical treatment that helps you find ways of coping with problems and avoid unhelpful ways of thinking.

There's not much research on talking treatments for erection problems. In one study, interpersonal therapy and psychosexual therapy both helped. About 8 in 10 men who had interpersonal therapy were still better after a year, compared with 4 in 10 men who had psychosexual therapy. But the study was too small to be sure about how well these treatments work.
