It’s Not Just in Your Head: Understanding Sexual Pain and Why “Just Relaxing” Won’t Fix It
If you’re experiencing pain during sex, please know this: it’s not just in your head, and being told to “just relax” isn’t the answer. Sexual pain is real, valid, and treatable and it’s not your fault. As a therapist licensed to work online with clients in Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Colorado, Tennessee, and Illinois, I want you to know that you are not broken. Your body is trying to protect you, not punish you and with the right support, healing and pleasure are absolutely possible.
