Send us a textDr Natasha Langan, a chartered clinical psychologist and accredited psychosexual therapist, explores how childhood sexual abuse impacts intimacy, and how ADHD in women can increase vulnerability to traumatic relationships and sexual exploitation.• Women with ADHD face higher rates of sexual victimization, unplanned pregnancies, and relationship dissatisfaction• Trauma includes both major events (sexual assault) and smaller experiences that accumulate over time (public humiliation, feeling "different")• Shame plays a central role in both ADHD and sexual trauma, creating beliefs that "something is wrong with me"• Compassion-focused therapy helps address shame by understanding our "tricky brains" that evolved for survival, not happiness• Vaginismus involves involuntary pelvic floor muscle spasms making penetration painful or impossible• Women's pain has historically been dismissed by healthcare providers, creating barriers to proper treatment• Sexual healing requires broadening ideas about what constitutes sex beyond penetration• A multidisciplinary approach combining physiotherapy, psychology, and sometimes medical care is most effective• Sexual health is a fundamental human right that includes pleasure, not just prevention of STIs or pregnancyThanks for listening!

Female Pelvic Pain and Its Relationship to Emotions & Trauma Dr. Adriana Martí When sex hurts, experts still have tons of unanswered questions. Since we don't have much accurate data on the various conditions that make intercourse painful, women often suffer in silence. To help sort this out, Dr. Diana Wiley, a sex therapist, and Dr. Adriana Martí, a pain psychologist, had an informative conversation. Dr. Martí uses the biopsychosocial model, which has emerged as the most comprehensive framework for understanding pain. Coming from a family of physicians, Dr. Marti understood the value of treating the physical body, but she also saw where the biomedical model falls short. That insight led her to embrace integrative, mind-body approaches to care especially for those living with chronic illness or pain. The level of a patient's anger has been shown to be an important predictor of chronic pain symptoms, and cultivating compassion has been shown to positively influence how we process emotions, thus reducing the tendency toward negativity, including anger. Psychological or emotional factors are often involved. Stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, a history of sexual abuse, an upsetting pelvic exam in the past, or relationship troubles can also be at the root of sexual pain. Some women experience vaginismus—an involuntary clenching of vaginal muscles that prevents penetration. Vaginismus is especially common among women who associate their vaginal area with fear or physical trauma. Both the sex therapist and the health psychologist want to include the patient's partner at some point in the therapeutic process. For many couples who have been dealing with a confusing, undefined issue, there is a buildup of resentment and anger. Men often fear hurting their partner. Pleasure can become pain. It is so easy for couples to blame each other and lose sight of the fact that the real problem is a physiological condition, not their partner. Dr. Martí also notes the cultural piece: the expectations related to the family. How does the family relate to pain? In one case, the mother and the grandmother both had pelvic pain. Sometimes the woman gets sucked into the “sick role,” which has the benefit of lowered expectations from the patient, but is ultimately not emotionally healthy. Can pain be unlearned? A study led by Yoni Ashar, PhD, which was published in JAMA Psychiatry, was the first clinical trial of pain reprocessing therapy (PRT). PRT was developed by psychotherapist Alan Gordon to treat primary chronic back pain. Complete details can be found in his book, The Way Out: A Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven Approach to Healing Chronic Pain. There are additional fixes, such as vaginal estrogen or other medicines or creams. Also, pelvic floor therapy (provided by a specially trained physical therapist) can help control vaginal muscles. “Down training” uses a combination of mindfulness, diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, stretching, and visualization to help calm the nervous system. The couple in therapy may be asked to do “outercourse” homework (non-penetrative sex). Some couples put too much focus on penetrative sex and neglect other fun, equally pleasurable sexual activities. Outercourse is a great option because it helps women forget there's a goal, so they can just enjoy the feelings and sensations of the ride! It gets both people out of their brains and into their bodies. Dr. Martí has a private practice where she works with individuals and couples in both English and Spanish. All sessions are done via telehealth. A fifteen-minute phone consultation is the no-charge first step! www.martipsychologicalservices.com

We talk about how our bodies and our hearts have been shaped by unmet expectations, and the slow, sacred work of healing together.If you've ever felt broken, ashamed, or alone in your intimacy struggles, this one is for you.

What if the pain isn't just physical—and what if fixing the body is only half the battle?Sexual pain is one of the most misunderstood issues in medicine. I invited my friend and colleague Dr. Corey Babb to dive into why so many women still struggle with pain, even after their doctors tell them everything looks “normal.” Corey just released his new book A Practical Guide for Female Sexual Medicine, which aims to help clinicians actually treat sexual dysfunction—not just study it.We unpack the deeper reasons patients experience conditions like vaginismus, vestibulodynia, and hypertonic pelvic floor, including trauma, religious shame, and outdated medical training. Corey and I also explore the groundbreaking Pacik method for treating vaginismus, including why Botox and dilators can truly change lives (and minds).But as we both know, treatment is never just about the body. We talk about the psychological side of healing—including why some patients avoid intimacy even after their pain resolves. Corey shares his insights on retraining the brain, rebuilding trust, and supporting patients beyond the exam room.We also discuss why pelvic pain is so often dismissed, how to empower women to advocate for themselves, and why our field still has so much work to do when it comes to teaching clinicians about sexual health.If you've ever been told to “just relax” or “drink some wine” to fix your pain—you'll want to hear this.Highlights:Why sexual pain can persist even after physical treatmentHow trauma and religious shame impact vaginismusThe Pacik method: Botox and dilator therapy explainedWhy desire and intimacy often lag behind pain reliefThe critical need for better sexual health education in medicineIf this episode helped you feel seen or gave you new insights, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts and share the episode with someone who might need it.

Send us a textIn this powerful and heartfelt episode, I sit down with Oriana, a bright and inspiring young woman who happens to also be cherished client, who courageously shares her personal journey with vaginismus. Vaginismus, a condition characterized by involuntary muscle spasms that make penetration incredibly painful, is often shrouded in silence and misunderstanding. Oriana opens up about her experiences, from the initial confusion and emotional challenges to the steps she took toward healing and empowerment. Through her story, we aim to shed light on this often-overlooked condition, providing hope, insight and understanding to anyone else who may be experiencing similar struggles.Support the showDive Deeper On Your Journey: ☆ Book a complimentary connection call with Selin for your hormone health & weight loss goals here.☆ Let's connect on Instagram!☆ Do you or a loved one have painful periods or PMS?
