My husband and I went to Leslie Gustafson about three years ago and it took us 2-1/2 years to find our real problem and recover from her inability to guide couples through a crisis in their sex life. She spent all four sessions talking only to me (wife) and putting the blame on me for the problems in our sex life just because my husband would put on his shame face when we were in there (which a real therapist would know is a deeper problem and is not something a spouse can fix). He told her he had previously struggled with pornography and she never once touched on that with him, which seems pretty basic in a couple struggling with sexual intimacy. Now, I know that my husband and I both had our issues which is why were there, but she only focused on one of us which only made our issues worse. When I spoke of his anger outbursts (which were porn and shame related, by the way), she said "Well, is it his fault if he doesn't know why he's angry?" At least my husband had the wherewithal to say "It's not HER fault." Only a really bad therapist would communicate such horrible boundaries. My husband was later diagnosed by a much better therapist as a sex addict. What kind of sex therapist misses something so obvious?!
If you are in need of help, DO NOT go to Leslie Gustafson or your problem will only be made worse. Find a real therapist. read more
