Everyone’s experience of vaginismus is unique. Regular diaries can be great for self-insight, but they’re usually only a record of thoughts, accomplishments, and sensations. I’ve created a little how-to guidebook that shows you how to keep an ultra simple, scientifically informed “structured” diary that’s better designed to uncover unseen clues about your dilation experience—whether or not you’re working with a pelvic floor physiotherapist. You’ll write briefly – very briefly! – each day for about 3 weeks total. These kinds of diaries are used in health care and treatment all the time! What you find can be surprising and can help you tweak your home dilation experience for potentially greater—and faster—success!
