If there were ever a prize given for the worst sex advice ever received, we’re pretty sure Jess would win the gold medal. Now a champion of her own healing, Occupational Therapist and Vaginismus Coach Jess Seitz spent years in the dark, lonely place of sexual pain.
Everywhere she looked for answers or support, Jess only found more and more unhelpful advice - from telling her to drink, to trying to beat a demon out of her, she experienced it all. Finally pulling from her own therapeutic background, she began to make surprising connections that helped mend the pathway between her head, heart, and body that would change her future forever.
For anyone struggling with sexual pain or vaginismus, this episode is a must listen. Jess’ strength, persistence, and joy-filled hope for others offers light on an often dark, confusing place and gives clues toward the next step in your own healing journey.
