#64 My Vulnerable Story of Vaginismus (and the Journey towards Healing my Root & Sacral Chakra)

February 19, 2021
Spiritual+Fem-0415.jpg
This podcast episode is probably the most vulnerable one to date. I feel called to share my personal story of being diagnosed with the condition β€˜vaginismus’, and the journey of disconnect with my body and trauma around my female sexuality with you. In the hope it will break stigma and taboo and that it perhaps will find some of you dealing with something similar – or even the same.

Vaginismus is the involuntarily contracting, squeezing and tightening of the muscles of your pelvic floor. This can mean that it is painful for you to have sex, or that it is impossible.

My experience is the latter.

There is ‘lifelong’ vaginismus – having this condition without no direct sexual trauma that has caused it – and ‘acquired’ vaginismus – which does point to direct physical trauma.

In this episode, I talk about getting diagnosed with vaginismus, the trouble I had with this condition throughout my past relationship and beyond and about having various different types of physical therapy to heal it. I talk about the successful therapy at a policlinic of a hospital, as well as the more spiritual outlook I have on my vaginismus now.

I believe that there is much past-life trauma that is stored in my pelvic area which I now carry around with me in the form of vaginismus. Talk about my spirituality, feminism and womanhood coming together!

I hope this episode will help some sisters out there, silently suffering with the same effects this diagnosis can bring. If you want to reach out and talk about it, please email me: thespiritualfem@gmail.com

If you live in the Netherlands and are interested in the treatment I talk about, check out the LUMC.Β 

And once again, thank you for this safe space that has allowed me to talk about my story. It’s such a healing experience for me and I’m so grateful we’re all here to support and inspire each other. This sisterhood rules and I’m so happy to be a part of it!

Every feel like your energy is just leaking all over the place? ⁠
Are you pouring from an empty cup? ⁠
Are external stimuli overwhelming the sh@t out of you? 😡⁠
⁠
We often speak of 'open energy centers' when they're healthy, flowing and nourishing us. ⁠
But the other side of that coin is that the centers are open out of a defensive mechanism of our nervous system. ⁠
That we feel like we need to give, give, give in order to receive. ⁠
⁠
This means that we can feel depleted, disconnected from ourselves and easily stressed. πŸ™…πŸΌβ€β™€οΈβ 
⁠
So, what to do? ⁠
Get clear on where your energy may be leaking to. πŸ€”β 
Are you overly trying to fit in sometimes? Feel like you have to hold in your words or suppress a creative nudge? ⁠
Try taking up a little more space, one step at the time, and see what may shift in your energy. My bet is that you'll feel a lot more nourished when you start to prioritise bathing in your own energy first, before you give it out to others. πŸ™πŸΌβ 
⁠
And if you'd like guidance on this, I currently have 2 more spots available to work with me as your intuitive mentor and energy healer. I approach your self development journey holistically and always look at your nervous system and energetic body as well as the limiting beliefs which may be holding you back from living your best life. Interested? Slide into my DMs and let's talk about it! 🧑

How do you feel about your sisterhood wound? πŸ’”β 
⁠
It can feel so scary opening up to other women, when all we've been taught is that they're our competitors, rivals and backstabbers. πŸ™…πŸΌβ€β™€οΈβ 
Can you relate? πŸ‘€β 
⁠
During our first ever international retreat, which is taking place in Portugal from 7 to 11 September of this year, we'll be immersing ourselves into a deep sisterhood. ⁠
⁠
What does this mean? ⁠
⁠
🧑 It means feeling safe enough to vulnerably share your current path, insecurities and feelings. ⁠
🧑 It means laughing together and feeling that heart chakra opening. ⁠
🧑 It means planting seeds together as you're building each other up. ⁠
⁠
Healing the sisterhood wound means everything for your feminine energy. πŸ”₯⁠
⁠
Are you ready for that change? πŸ‘‡πŸΌβ 
⁠
Join the retreat! Check the link in bio for all the details and to book your spot. I'd love to hold space for you there x
