I’m SO glad to have attended the Power Of Words meet up recently.
I found it really valuable to set aside an hour to focus on my vaginismus journey, through the medium of writing, in the company of other women who have their own first hand experiences of what I’m currently going through. The writing exercises were really thoughtful and thought-provoking (and you can share your writing with the group or just observe, and you can keep your camera off if you prefer).
When I attended the session, I had recently booked my first ever smear test appointment and was very apprehensive about it. The exercises in the session allowed my to focus on my body in a calm, kind way, and reframe the smear test as an act of self care for my body rather than just something terrifying which I wouldn’t be able to do…
The next week, I was able to have my smear test for the first time ever and all went smoothly!
