Wholehearted: Love, Life + Intimacy
Society & Culture:Relationships
When my clients come to me experiencing painful sex, they often tell me they feel embarrassed and ashamed and like they can’t talk to anyone about it. I’m passionate about changing that.
Challenges with sex or our genitals shouldn’t be treated any different to a challenge with any other part of our body. It’s biology - it doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.
Incredibly, painful sex effects up to 20% of us women at some point in our lives and, just to put that in perspective, that means it’s more common than asthma, cancer and heart disease!
It impacts our enjoyment of sex, can dramatically reduce our sexual desire and can place strain on our relationships - or lead women to avoid relationships completely.
If you are experiencing sexual pain at the moment you might be feeling: frustrated, guilty, confused, upset embarrassed or all of the above.
It may be impacting your self confidence and even your daily functioning.
So, I want to assure you that you’re not alone.
Painful sex doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. And it doesn’t have to mean the end of your relationship.
And, although what exactly is causing painful sex can often be difficult to diagnose, there is always a reason and usually treatments that can be found. There are also caring, understanding and qualified professionals that can help you through the process.
In this podcast I’m talking about:
The names that you might have heard painful sex called and what exactly they all mean The different types of pain that you may be experiencing What causes sex to be painful?And of course
How we can treat it - my recommendations for your diagnosis and treatment journeyOver the past 10 years, I’ve helped many through the process of diagnosing and treating sexual pain, giving them emotional support, helping them ease the burden on their relationship and re-introduce sex when the time is right.
While I hope you find this episode helpful, it doesn’t replace a detailed consultation with a medical professional or therapist.
Head over to my blog page for more advice and resources on painful sex and please reach out and get support from a professional. You really don’t need to go through this alone.
I’m sending you all my love, blessings and good luck to you in this journey.
If you found this episode helpful, I’d love for you would head over to iTunes and leave me a rating for this podcast. It will help me reach other women who might need support or encouragement around sex, love and intimacy too.
Thanks so much for listening beautiful.
