How to change YOUR limiting beliefs
In my podcast with Avaiya University, I talk about thriving - and how the way we think and what we believe can completely shape our experiences and mental health.

What REALLY causes Vaginismus
If you have vaginismus, I'm sure you're all too aware of the very physical signs of the condition: Pain, vaginal tightness, the 'wall', etc.

What is vaginismus?
Cara answers these questions:
- What is vaginismus

- What are the symptoms of vaginismus
- What does it feel like to have vaginismus, both physically and emotionally

Insights into what happens BEFORE your muscles tense
It can be easy to think that when vaginismus occurs, it’s a just a two -step process:
1. You try to insert a tampon, dilator or have sex.
2. Your vaginal muscles tighten, you hit that ‘wall’ and sex becomes painful/impossible.
In this video, Cara describes what is really going on before the tensing occurs, in terms of the thoughts, you have, but ultimately the BELIEFS that drive the thoughts that cause the physical response.
Challenging Myths about Vaginismus
Cara challenges two unhelpful, yet common myths about vaginismus:
1. Your vagina is NOT spasming, it's simply tensing
2. You do NOT have a physical injury. Your vagina is not broken!
