Reply To: What happens during therapy?

[rabbit]

I think I had 2 or 3 sessions with my therapist during which she only asked questions and gave me some basic relaxation exercises I could do at home. From the 4th session on I had to get nude and fingers/dilators/instruments were inserted either for me or by me. All WITH consent, and step by step. You don’t have to worry, (most?) therapists will respect your limits. But I honestly can’t see how you can get rid of vaginismus without this part. If only talking was involved, therapy could be given by a sexologist or psychologist as well.
