As a clinical hypnotherapist (AHA), sex therapist and clinical naturopath (ANPA) I help men who experience premature ejaculation (PE) in my clinics.
Are you nervous in bed and feel you are unable to perform?
I take an in-depth, science-based physical and psychological approach to helping you get past the problem for which you may get health fund rebates.
You may ejaculate quickly before you are ready, finding it frustrating and embarrassing.
Premature ejaculation can either be primary or secondary.
Primary premature ejaculation
There may be a biological response like low testosterone, enzyme failure, vascular, urological or neurological failure or over-activity in which case I would order tests.
In psychosomatic primary premature ejaculation an early pattern of over-excitement or nervousness has been set up in that you are unable to make sex last before you lose control of the impulse to ejaculate.
This generally emerges from early learnings and sexual experiences. It may be due to culturally-based beliefs or past personal sexual encounters.
It may have happened a long time ago or over or a number of years. Those patterns need to be changed with hypnotherapy.
Hypnosis in Sex Therapy By Dr Tracie O’Keefe
In secondary premature ejaculation there could have been a biological shift. Hormonal levels could have changed or a traumatic experience may have scarred the brain. Again, I may order tests.
You may have had an experience that lodged deep into your unconscious mind and set up a pattern of nervousness around ejaculation. You lost your confidence.
Sex may have been okay some time ago but now you are struggling.
Hypnosis helps rewire your brain to bring the ejaculation response under your control.
When the premature ejaculation problem is biological
In these cases I may implement a course of treatment to help you gain control.
For some treatments or medications, I may refer you to another specialist while we fix the rest.
Since I am also a naturopath I like to take as natural an approach as possible.
I may ask you to make big changes in your life to take the stress off your body and help it function better.
When the problem is deep in your unconscious
Sometimes you may be unaware of the root of the problem that is out of your conscious awareness. You have amnesia about how and when the problem started.
You experience the problem but don’t know why and you have been unable to gain control of your ejaculation consciously.
We don’t always need to know the source of the problem to fix it but sometimes it can be useful under hypnosis to regress you to the time it began.

When anxiety is the cause of premature ejaculation
It is often the case with many men, whether the cause is primary or secondary premature ejaculation, that anxiety is a large part of the problem.
The anxiety gets hold of you as the problem accelerates and you never build your sexual confidence or you lose it.
This is where hypnosis excels in helping you feel comfortable and calm around sex.
In these cases, hypnosis can be far more effective than any medication.
Sex can be enjoyable
I offer you a safe, comfortable and confidential space to help you get your sexual confidence.
The restoration or installation for the first time of a sense of enjoyment around sex builds your confidence in your sexual performance.
Sex should be an enjoyable experience that is both exciting, yet not disturbing your personal confidence in any way.
The therapy we do and suggestions I make under hypnosis help your unconscious overcome your negative beliefs around sex.
Hypnotherapy is a safe and fast treatment
I use solution-focused hypno-psychotherapy and sex therapy to help you become sexually confident again or for the first time.
Bring your willingness to change and step outside your comfort zone where the problem existed.
You may be asked to make many changes so be prepared to do that instantly.
Hypnosis helps you feel relaxed, comfortable and helps in overcoming your problems fast.
