How many of your clients navigating the transition to parenthood are silently struggling with pelvic or sexual pain—unable to find the words or courage to bring it into the therapy room? These conditions are far more common than most therapists realize, yet they remain wrapped in shame and silence, profoundly impacting mental health, relationships, and the transition to parenthood.
This 90-minute training will transform how you recognize, discuss, and support clients experiencing vaginal, vulvar, and pelvic pain conditions during the perinatal period. You'll gain the language, confidence, and clinical tools to open conversations that could be life-changing for your clients.
Whether you're supporting individuals or couples, this training equips you to recognize when pelvic pain is affecting your client's presentation, offer sex-positive therapeutic support, and guide them toward comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.
What You'll Learn:
· Understanding stigma and silence surrounding pelvic and sexual pain conditions
· Why awareness is crucial for perinatal therapists and providers
· Meeting unique needs of women with pelvic pain conditions
· Multidisciplinary approach to sexual wellbeing and rehabilitation
· Common female sexual dysfunctions including vaginismus, vulvodynia, and GPPPD
· Integrative and holistic treatment approaches and interventions
· Empowering clients to become strong self-advocates
· Supporting both clients and partners through these challenging experiences
· Discussing sex and sexual dysfunction with confidence and a sex-positive approach
