cause of non-entrapment pn

[ezer]

April, sorry for hijacking your thread. I had PN though, certainly not an entrapment. It wouldn't heal because my brain kept my pelvic floor in a state of contraction.

Dusty, could you elaborate? I am not sure I understand what you mean by alternative. You need to feel your emotions. It is a physical sensation, not a thought. It shouldn't upset you. If you get upset it is because you are thinking about a negative event, not feeling your emotion.

Please remember that you do not need to resolve conflicts to heal. All you need is to reconnect with those negative emotions that you want to avoid.

Obviously if your negative emotions are more of a traumatic/PTSD nature you may need professional help. Some people say that EMDR is very helpful. I have no experience. For me it was key to realize that I needed to do the work myself and not rely on yet another book or mind body expert.

I understand that you have a rectocele and it is hard to get passed such a physical and visible problem but I did not think it is a painful condition. I was also diagnosed with PNE by 5 physicians. That was difficult to overcome mentally. The PNE diagnosis is the worst enemy of healing because it instills a doubt.

Hi Ezer

Rather than continuing on April's thread, I will elaborate on your Mindbody Therapy thread instead.
