Episode 6: Vaginismus, the Nervous System, and Pulling an Evelyn
VagQuest was created to bring support, personal insights, and levity to those on a journey with vaginismus and related pelvic floor dysfunction. This podcast partners with a program created to support those of you struggling with moving through vaginismus through a purely physical approach of exercise and dilating. Those are the things that got me started and moved me across the finish line, but in today’s episode, I’ll be continuing to chat about the relationship between the nervous system and vaginismus, specifically how we can take a reactive approach to nervous system regulation when we feel triggered. We'll talk through the TIMES method, which I learned from Kimberly Ann Johnson in Call of the Wild, a concept I call "laddering," and how we can be like Evelyn in Everything, Everywhere, all at Once and jump nervous system states.
