Who is this for?
This support group is ideal for individuals undergoing or considering gender transition who are looking for support, community, and practical advice. Potential participants include:
-
Why sex therapy for pain?Sex therapists are uniquely positioned to help because they understand how pain affects your relationship with your body and they can offer techniques to address anxiety that intensifies pain.
-
What happens during the consultation?Your 15-minute call is an opportunity to briefly share your situation and determine if the therapist might be a good fit. You can ask about their approach to pain management and experience with your specific concerns.
-
Do I need insurance?Many of our therapists offer sliding scale options and payment plans. During your consultation, you can discuss financial considerations before making any commitment.
-
Is this only for queer people?We're queer-affirming and here for everyone. No exceptions.
-
I’ve been dismissed by doctors before. How is this different?We only match you with providers who take your pain seriously. No more medical gaslighting. No more searching alone. Just real, affirming care.
-
What conditions do you help with?Fluid helps individuals experiencing sexual and pelvic pain by connecting them with affirming providers who specialize in conditions like vaginismus (involuntary muscle tightening), dyspareunia (painful penetration), vestibulodynia and vulvodynia (burning or stinging pain), endometriosis-related sexual pain, and pelvic floor dysfunction. We also support those struggling with painful sex before, during, or after intercourse; tightness, burning, or discomfort with penetration; fear or anxiety about sex due to pain; and pelvic pain that affects intimacy and relationships.
