Vaginismus is considered one of the most successfully treatable female sexual disorders. Many studies have shown treatment success rates approaching nearly 100%. Treatment resolution follows a manageable, step-by-step process.
Limbic System Retraining
Mind + Body Training
Vaginismus is caused by a limbic system response toward penetration that activates vaginal muscle tightness.
The limbic system, also known as the feeling and reacting part of the brain, controls functions needed for self-preservation. Among the system's many responsibilities, it is involved with interpreting events and body protections for emotions and memory to trigger necessary body reactions. The mind and body can hold a negative view of different forms of penetration that trigger a physical over-reaction.
The good news is that this associative reaction can be changed through mind and body training, for complete resolution of vaginismus.
