You can casually tell a coworker you have a headache. You might mention to a friend that your stomach hurts. But who do you talk to when you’re dealing with pelvic pain? For many people, the answer is no one!
Pelvic pain can be isolating and even traumatic. You can’t sit comfortably, you can’t sleep well, and you’re always tied to the closest bathroom.
It’s not just the physical discomfort; it’s the silence around it. This psychical condition can also be wrapped with feelings of shame, embarrassment, and desperation. It’s a self-feeding cycle where pain is provoking anxiety and this anxiety is triggering more pain.
Because of my understanding of the complexity of this condition, I have developed a holistic treatment approach that combines psychoeducation on chronic pain, relaxation technics, somatic mindfulness, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Achieving remission from this condition can feel like a dream that will never come true. Having someone along your side equipped with knowledge and experience can help directing you to the light at the end of the tunnel.
