About
The Sensate Space is a psychologist-led podcast with bite-sized episodes dedicated to chronic intimate pain conditions and the role of psychology, including nurturing wellbeing and connection, feeling safe and working with the nervous system, and building a treatment team. We’ll talk about the psychological experiences and symptoms of pelvic pain and sexual pain conditions including dyspareunia (painful intercourse), vaginismus, vulvodynia, genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder (GPPPD), and link these with ideas from ACT and DBT therapy, and polyvagal theory.
