Pijn tijdens het vrijen, body image, trauma en vaginismus (Jamie Elise) NL

Pijn tijdens het vrijen, body image, trauma en vaginismus (Jamie Elise) NL

THIS EPISODE IS IN DUTCH.

In deze aflevering deelt Jamie haar reis en kennis over wat je moet doen als je pijn ervaart tijdens geslachtsgemeenschap.

We leren dat 33,33% van de vrouwen pijn en ongemak ervaart tijdens geslachtsgemeenschap en ook leeft in de illusie dat dit "deel uitmaakt van de deal".

Jamie vertelt over haar persoonlijke reis met hoe ze dit heeft overwonnen en hoe ze vrouwen helpt hetzelfde te doen.

Ze boort veel verschillende oorzaken van vaginisme aan, zoals een negatief lichaamsbeeld, trauma en angsten (die totaal geen verband lijken te houden met seks of geslachtsgemeenschap).

Over het algemeen is dit een aflevering die je moet horen voor alle vrouwen en mannen die pijn ervaren tijdens geslachtsgemeenschap of iemand kennen die dat wel doet.


ENGLISH: In this episode Jamie shares her journey and knowledge on what to do if you experience pain during intercourse.

We learn that 33.33% of women experiences pain and discomfort during intercourse and also live in the illusion this is "part of the deal".

Jamie takes about her personal journey with how she overcame this and how she helps women do the same.

She taps into many different causes of vaginismus such as a negative body image, trauma and fears (that seem completely unrelated to sex or intercourse).

Overall this is a must hear episode for all womxn and men who experience pain during intercourse or know someone who does.

Womxn's health: Exercising and your cycle (Evi Maalcke)

What you'd wish you know before ever following a workout schedule:

In this episode Evi tells you everything you need to know when it comes to training, hormones and your cycle.

Main question answered: Why do womxn fall in the jojo-trap, lose their cycle, feel sore all the time, experience acne and other 'negative' results when following an exercise program/schedule compared to their male gym-buddy, who can achieve happy and 'fit' results on the same program/schedule?

Evi explains how your body changes during the month and how to optimise your progress and health by cooperating with your body instead of working against it.

In short this is a step by step guide on how to capitalize on the changes in body processes instead of feeling defeated by it.

This podcast is meant for informational entertainment only: before applying any changes to your diet or workout routine make sure to contact a health professional.

Surrendering yourself to nature (Steffi De Bie)

Surrendering yourself to nature (Steffi De Bie)

Steffi is a Nature-based Expressive Arts Therapist / Mentor / Creatrix. Her vision is of a world where people are connected to their emotions and are fully present in their body and in the moment. This pursuit grew after being called out of the hustle and bustle of a successful but hectic, fast-paced corporate life. With the loss of that identity, she began her journey inward, reconnecting with her inner strength and guidance.

Elise had the pleasure of experiencing a therapy session with Steffi, relearning how to slow down and find comfort in the raw and natural environment. 

This episode is their post-session conversation! 

Find the link to Steffi's online vision circle, commencing Tuesday the 9th of Feb, here www.facebook.com/steffidebie.com.au

In deze aflevering praat Evi met Coach Lianne over voeding als medicijn als je een eetstoornis hebt (gehad).

Door de stress van de situatie kan een dieet vaak meer kwaad dan goed doen. We delen onze persoonlijke ervaring met voeding als medicijn en het hebben van een verstoorde relatie tot voeding en lichaamsbeeld.

Ook bespreken we hoe jij wel richtlijnen kan volgen op het gebied van voeding, zonder hierdoor meer stress te creëren. We leggen dus uit hoe jij voeding echt als medicijn kan zien.

Lianne is coach en ervaringsdeskundige en helpt anderen bij het genezen van hun eetstoornissen.

Dit is het eerste deel van een miniserie. In de volgende aflevering bespreken we de rol van zorgverleners bij het op gang brengen van de ontwrichtende relatie tussen uw lichaam, voeding en beweging.

ENGLISH: In this episode Evi talks to Coach Lianne about food as medicine if you have (had) an eating disorder. Often due to the stress of the situation a diet can do more harm than good. Lianne is a coach and expert by experience and helps others to cure their eating disorders.
