How does sex therapy help with pelvic pain?
You may have been told everything looks normal. Or maybe you've seen the specialists and practiced with the dilators, but still find that sex feels impossible, or that your body braces before anything happens.
Perhaps you're the partner, unsure how to help without making things worse.
When sex is painful, intimacy can begin to organize around shame, fear, or avoidance, leaving you feeling disconnected from your body, your sexuality, or your relationship.
In sex therapy, we gently untangle these patterns, make sense of what you've been through, and create more room for embodiment, connection, and eroticism.
