Today, we have the incredible Dee Hartmann, a distinguished pelvic floor physical therapist and author.
We dive deep into the topics of pleasure and healing, exploring how embracing pleasure—beyond just the sexual—can fundamentally transform our approach to treating sexual pain and dysfunction.
Dee brings her expertise and insights from her book "A Pleasure Prescription: A Surprising Approach to Healing Sexual Pain," co-authored with Elizabeth Wood.
We'll discuss how women can reclaim their bodies, find joy in everyday sensual experiences, and the critical role these play in our overall well-being. From feeling the breeze to appreciating the sky, Dee advocates for a life rich in sensory experiences as a pathway to better health and happier lives.
We also tackle the complex issues of genital self-esteem and the concerning trends in cosmetic genital surgeries. We'll uncover the beauty of vulvar diversity and stress the importance of preserving the sensory and erotic functions of female genitalia.
Get ready to be informed, inspired, and possibly transformed as we discuss the body's capacity for pleasure and the power of a positive mindset.
