Helping you put vaginismus in the past, for good
I went through my first PAP test today and I’m so happy! My healthcare provider was a kind and gentle lady and made me super comfortable.. Woohoo!! In the past I tried but wasn’t able to go through with it and had asked the healthcare provider to stop (about 2 years back). I’m now on dilator 7 …
First of all, don’t get me wrong… I have loving and supportive parents. Neither do I want to cast a bad light on my father nor depict my childhood as absolutely horrible. Yet, while my mother used to be the empathetic, emotional part of the two, my father was (and mostly is) the rational, strict …
I originally found Katrin in December 2019 during a moment of frustration in my vaginismus journey. I joined her email list and paid attention to her periodic emails. Within a few months, I was purchasing one of the recommended dilator sets on my way to overcoming vaginismus. I had my dilator set at least a few …
I was always afraid of penetrative sex, from the time my mother explained it to me at 7 onward… But when I was 12 I had to get my first pelvic exam to try to figure out why I was having such long periods. The exam was excruciating as I was, of course, on a …
Vaginismus is a very private struggle. At first I thought I was the only one that was going through this and I didn’t even know what vaginismus was..I felt abnormal and while all my friends were enjoying their sex life and speaking to me of their experiences, I was miserable not knowing what’s wrong with …
When I think about what events or situation in my childhood may have affected the beginning of my vaginismus in my subconscious, a few memories come to mind. Since I was 12 years old, I often attended gynaecology appointments. I was treated for frequent gynaecological infections due to Synechia Vulvae. Infections were treated with antibiotic …
My journey wasn’t easy. When I started the dilator training, I had a confidence that I could succeed it easily. But later on, my partner broke up with me. I went through a lot of emotional stress and I stopped the dilator training midway. It took me quite some time to gain my mental strength and …
I decided to sign up for working one-on-one with Katrin at a low point in my life. I had put off attending to this area of my life because I felt so ugly, embarrassed, not sure how to proceed… Full of despair. So much pain and embarrassment. Feeling so alone and powerless. Dreading my birthday because …
If you can relate to any of this, we have a lot in common! Perhaps you had resistance to having a self-pleasure practice.. I mean, we have all grown up in a shame-steeped culture around sex and pleasure! Or maybe you ripped the bandaid and you tried to be adventurous like your girlfriend or partner …
The first moment I saw Katrin I immediately thought – ‘what a loving look’. When she started talking about her story about vaginismus and pain during intercourse, I could immediately relate. I had already done a lot to solve my pain during intercourse, but it always failed to produce the desired result. I was very sad …
