Non-medical male impotence or erectile dysfunction (ED)

Impotence or erectile dysfunction means not being able to get or maintain a good enough erection to have fulfilling intercourse. Temporary impotence is very common indeed, particularly in younger men, and especially when they are either anxious or have drunk too much alcohol.

Many body systems are involved in male sexual arousal; brain, nervous system, blood vessels, muscles, hormones, and emotions are all key to proper function. A problem in one part of the body can cause erectile dysfunction.

Many chronic diseases, such as heart disease, are sometimes first diagnosed after a man discusses his symptoms of erectile dysfunction with his medical doctor.

Sometimes there are no physical reasons for an erectile dysfunction. Occasional impotence is common and often caused by stress or performance anxiety, however, if the problem persists, professional help may be required. And when the physician can’t find a physical reason psychotherapy can help because often erectile dysfunction is a psychological issue.

Hypnotherapy may also be beneficial for individuals who want to release negative or limiting beliefs by identifying the triggers that started them. Learning how to manage and deal with them may then be possible. Hypnoanalysis, therefore, may help to identify the root cause of the issue and deal with it.

If you’re having erection problems, bear these points in mind:

• The most common cause of temporary impotence is just anxiety and not some serious disease!
• Impotence can be helped by medication, sex counseling, mechanical aids, or – very occasionally – surgical treatment.
• Impotence may be a symptom of another, as yet undiagnosed, disease requiring treatment; the most common of these is diabetes.

Psychological Causes

An erection happens when blood is pumped into your penis – and stays there – making it stiff and hard. All sorts of things may affect this complex process. Besides physiological causes there are the following psychological causes:

• Anxiousness about whether you can perform will almost certainly make it impossible to get an erection.
• Problems in a relationship may affect potency.
• Impotence may be caused by depression.
• Bereavement: recent loss of a loved one is notorious for causing impotence.
• Tiredness
• Stress
• Hang-ups – for instance, guilt about sex.
• Unresolved gay feelings
• Having an in your mind unattractive partner.
• Porn-induced erectile dysfunction

Causes for an erectile dysfunction

There are some health and psychological conditions that can cause or contribute to erectile dysfunction.

These physical causes include:

• partially- or fully-blocked blood vessels
• nerve damage
• high cholesterol
• high blood pressure
• heart disease
• obesity
• diabetes
• low testosterone
• metabolic syndrome
• prostate cancer or enlarged prostate
• depression
• damage to the pelvic area

And there are lifestyle issues that can contribute to erectile dysfunction:

• consumption of porn
• prescription medications
• illicit drugs
• tobacco use
• excessive alcohol consumption
• sedentary lifestyle
• stress and anxiety
• not enough sleep 

Frequently ask questions about erectile disfunction

Here are questions that clients asked:

Can stress and anxiety cause erectile dysfunction?

Anxiety, stress and erectile dysfunction are closely connected. Because men facing increased stress or anxiety may also have increased blood pressure and cholesterol. Those conditions increase a man’s risk for erectile dysfunction.

Stress is the physical response of the body to life’s issues. Stress and anxiety can cause harm to your body and the erectile disfunction is just one of the many ways the damage manifests itself. It can lead to a vicious cycle because erectile dysfunction itself can cause a man further stress and anxiety, which can cause additional erectile dysfunction issues and so on. 

How self-hypnosis helps with non-medical male impotence?  

Self-hypnosis has helped many patients with non-medical male impotence. Many male usually report very quickly a noticeable improvement. Pondering, fears, mental and physical tension can be additionally reduced by self-hypnosis. Therefore, I teach my patients self-hypnosis to supplement the hypnosis sessions.

After positive trance experiences have been made with my support, self-hypnosis can be learned very quickly. This helps them to progress self-determined outside the therapy. It accelerates the process, deepens and consolidates the achievements. This also promotes the independence of the clients. A good therapist will be superfluous as soon as possible. Self-hypnosis is an excellent self-help method that can be used beyond the actual topic.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is used with non-medical impotence. Non-medical impotence is the case when men experience arousal states during sleep.

Old books recommend an easy way to tell, but not a replacement for medical examination is to put a band made from postage stamps around your penis before you go to bed. If the band is broken in the morning, you are more than likely having normal erections during sleep.

Sexual problems such as these are related to the subconscious, and hypnotherapy helps in taking away the layers which hide the real reason. The real reason is not that your sexual prime is going downhill. The problem is that your head is governing the actions of the other, and what results is a wilting experience.

Hypnotherapy helps you confront the negative emotions, and teaches you to get over it. It helps you gain confidence and takes the pressure out of the performance. It will help you get back your self-confidence and masculinity whilst be enabling you to enjoy pleasing your partner and yourself.

How to Decide to Ask for Help

Overcoming Doubts About Seeking Support

Are you wondering whether you need professional help to recover? You might feel that you should handle things on your own or worry that seeking help means you’re not strong enough. Perhaps you fear that discussing your issues could worsen your symptoms. These concerns are natural, but addressing them can clear the way for meaningful progress.

The Value of Reaching Out

Taking the step to seek help doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s a sign of emotional strength and self-awareness. Therapy offers the chance to balance personal autonomy with the support of a trusted professional. An experienced therapist will guide you at a comfortable pace, never pressuring you to discuss topics you’re not ready for. Emotional resilience grows through learning when and how to seek support while maintaining independence.

Assessing the Impact of Symptoms

To determine if professional assistance might benefit you, consider how your symptoms affect your daily life:

• Are your relationships fulfilling and healthy?
• Can you focus and perform effectively at work?
• Do you feel joy and satisfaction in your daily life?
• Is there a sense that life could be more fulfilling?

If your symptoms limit your ability to thrive in these areas, reaching out for help could be a valuable step.

Appointment booking

Please read the important information before making an appointment with me, including the contraindications for psychotherapy with hypnotherapy. I have answered frequently asked questions for you. For the success of your therapy, this information is of crucial importance. If this attracts you, then you can find out about booking your appointment here. The better you are informed, the faster we can focus on you and your wishes.

To make an appointment, you can preferably contact me by e-mail (mail@noack-hypnose.de) or by using the contact form (privacy policy) as well as by phone 01577 704 53 56 or 030 - 864 213 69. You will then receive a confirmation of your reservation by e-mail. In this reply, you will find the details for the first session. This usually happens within 24 hours. If you do not receive a reply, it could be because an email has ended up in the spam filter. In such a case, please call me.

There are only a few practice hours available, and they want to be used well. The fee for individual session hours is therefore always to be paid in full by bank transfer, with payment received at least 7 days before the session.

Why at least 7 days in advance? I would like to do it differently, but this is the best practice. Appointments that have not been confirmed with payment received seven days in advance are noticeably more likely to be canceled. And the repeated callbacks take up a lot of time. Because of this, I'm currently faced with the decision of whether and how to either significantly adjust fees to absorb this or to consistently organize in a way that is fair to all parties. Because of this, I am also offering options in terms of shifting appointments with the fees.

There is a maximum of 20 hours a week available for psychotherapy, and any canceled appointment means patients are unable to benefit from psychotherapy help. I understand that it would be more convenient for you otherwise, but this solution is the fairest for all involved.

You can use real-time bank transfer (costs 25 Ct. at Sparkasse Berlin, for example) for time-sensitive appointments, and the transfer takes a few minutes, or we can make an appointment with appropriate advance preparation. If this is not an option for you, please let me know immediately so that I can assign your appointment. Otherwise, I appreciate your understanding and look forward to intensive cooperation.

You are not in Berlin or prefer an alternative instead of coming to me?

You are not in Berlin or do not want or cannot come to the practice for other reasons? Then it is worth reading the following information about the options:

a. Travel to Berlin

For clients traveling to Berlin, there is the possibility, if booked in advance, to hold 2 sessions on the same day. It should be discussed in advance by telephone whether this is a recommendable option, as it requires appropriate prerequisites. Any sources of additional pressure should be avoided in the interest of the therapeutic success.

Here you will find further information when considering to travel to me in Berlin.

b. Online sessions

At times a personal meeting is not possible. In such cases, a telephone session or a session with video support via the Internet is an alternative or supplement. I have been using this setting for many years, and many clients have achieved excellent results with it. These experiences make it easy to achieve very intensive sessions in this way as well. You are more flexible and can also use my support very promptly. There are currently reduced fees for such sessions.

You are also on the safe side regarding the coronavirus. By the way, this is also an option if you should be unexpectedly unable to attend a session personally.​

Just ask me personally.
