This week in The Lounge I had the pleasure of discussing vaginismus with Katrin from Vaginismus Sisters. We get stuck into some epic chats about why the body can start contracting against penetration and get stuck in pain patterns and protective, defense strategies such as occur in painful sex and vaginismus. We cover Katrin's pillars to overcoming vaginismus, how to talk to a partner about it and how partner's can best support someone with vaginismus. Among loads of other super valuable deep dives into the min-body connection and the role of the nervous system in all this. Plus you can expect all the usual antics and hilarious, vulnerable n' relatable personal stories and signature segments that you've come to know and love here in The Labia Lounge!
