What does it mean to truly understand women's sexual health and how does it connect to our mental well-being? Today, i'm joined by Aoife, a psychosexual and relationship therapist, to shed light on this often under-discussed yet vital aspect of women's lives.

We also delve into societal expectations surrounding women's sexual well-being, touching on the importance of recognizing your sexual identity and the psychological aspects of self-care. Aoife guides us through the historical messages associated with the female orgasm, the impact of post-birth stress and body image on a woman's sexual well-being, and the topic of female pelvic pain. We discuss the myths and misconceptions about pelvic floor physiotherapy and the process of a satisfactory sexual experience for women.

As we navigate this enlightening conversation, Aoife emphasizes the importance of active listening and compassion in relationships, particularly when it comes to discussing sexual health. Together, we explore the power of active listening in creating an open and compassionate environment for sexual health conversations and offer tips on finding the right therapist for you.
