I’m not sure if it’s even the right sort of therapy for me . GP said she has referred me to specialist clinic; I have a history of very long term gynae problems with traumatic experiences around treatment, sexual assault and sexual abuse in childhood .
I can see why they’ve referred me but I’m not sure if it’s going to help . I do have some issues with sexual functioning - vaginismus and difficulty with orgasm . But a large part of that is trauma and fear and flashbacks, and I’m not sure if this sort of therapy can help with that - I have a diagnosis of complex PTSD .
I vaguely remember being sent to a similar clinic a few years ago and the therapist - a man - telling me I had vaginismus because I didn’t understand how a vagina worked, which was rather frustrating.
Has anyone been through similar therapy, does it help?
