I have felt this SO MANY Times...
I have felt guilty and ashamed trying to discuss problems like peeing my pants, or having pain with sex with people around me have terrible and life threatening diseases like cancer...ALS... SCI...
I always feel guilty when I want to discuss with people my problems knowing there are worse things out there.
But.
Feeling ashamed about pelvic health will actually contribute to worse symptoms. Your shame and guilt around what is going on will contribute to more pain or incontinence especially if gone ignored.
I can't tell you how many clients I get weekly who say, "I know it's not that big of a deal... but... "
IT IS A BIG DEAL.
Anything you are experiencing that is not your normal or is causing you to not be able to do something you want to do, is a HUGE deal.
I can't speak for your family members or for anyone in your life, but I can speak for myself and myself treats you and you are a big deal and deserve to FEEL good.
Many of you reading this are thinking this thought:
"But I'm broken. My body is broken. My vagina is broken. And it's just something I have to deal with and manage."
You've also probably been in a situation where you've discussed what is bothering you with another medical professional and you left feeling shamed...Things like:
Well you never learned how to do this properly.
You shouldn't have been pushing this whole time. You did this to yourself.
You should have educated yourself before having a baby.
Things like that can have a powerful effect on your feelings of yourself and how you react to getting help with pelvic dysfunctions.
If someone is shaming you about pelvic floor dysfunction or because you've brought this up, it's NOT OKAY.
I want to take a few moments and discuss some questions I discuss with my clients about shame.
There are so many different journaling prompts and so many different meditations that you can do that will really and truly assist you in healing. But that is the first part.
You cannot heal your physical body without first healing your mind.
