How to Prepare for Your First Psychos*xual Therapy Session
Iam Dr. Wafaa El-Tantawy; COSRT-accredited Psychos*xual Consultant and Relationship Therapist
Today I’m sharing the top 5 things that will help you prepare for your first session without anxiety or tension:

First of all.; be honest with yourself: Before the session, think carefully about the exact problem… When did it start? What’s happening? How is it affecting you and your relationship? You can write notes if you like.

Know that you can speak freely: Everything you share in the session is protected by strict professional confidentiality. So you can talk openly without worry or tension.

Understand the purpose: The first session is usually an assessment of the situation, getting to know the therapist, and building rapport. We’ll ask about your medical, psychological, and s*xual history for the initial evaluation before starting the therapy journey.

Prepare your questions: Write down any questions you have (about the length of treatment, the approach, or the problem itself…).

Relax before the session: Choose a convenient time so you can be focused and ready. If you feel any tension, take a deep breath before the session — and feel free to share how you’re feeling with the therapist.

The first session is the most important step on your journey toward a better s*xual life. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments or send DM. And don’t forget to share this video with anyone who might benefit!

‼️ 5 Common Signs of Sexual Difficulties You Shouldn’t Ignore

Many people suffer in silence, not realizing these signs can be treated.

Hi, I’m Dr. Wafaa El-Tantawy, Consultant in Sexual Health & Relationships and Gynecologist. Today, let’s talk about 5 important signs of s*xual difficulties that deserve attention.

Remember: problems in intimacy are rarely one person’s issue alone. They’re usually a shared responsibility between partners. Here are the common signs:

1. Pain during in*******se or difficulty with pe*******on (often called vaginismus) – this is more common than many people think.

2. Trouble getting or staying aroused – such as erectile difficulties, premature ej*******on, or ongoing vaginal dryness.

3. A noticeable and lasting drop in s*xual desire, or a big difference in desire between partners.

4. Ongoing problems reaching or**sm – whether it takes much longer than before or doesn’t happen at all.

5. Strong anxiety or completely avoiding intimacy because of fear, stress, or worry.

If you’ve noticed one or more of these signs for a while, please know you’re not alone. Psychos*xual therapy is highly effective and has helped many people regain comfort and connection.

‼️ What is a Psychos*xual Therapist?

Your s*xual health is an important part of your overall health. Just like you would see a doctor for a headache or stomach pain, you can also seek help if you’re facing s*xual or intimacy issues.

A psychos*xual therapist is a specialist who helps individuals and couples with problems related to intimacy, relationships, and s*xual health. They do this through talk therapy.

It’s important to know how these sessions work:
A psychos*xual therapy session is talk therapy only. There is no physical contact, no un******ng, and no s*xual activity of any kind during the session. Everything is discussed in a safe, private, and non-judgmental space where you can openly share your feelings, thoughts, and concerns.

What qualifications should a psychos*xual therapist have?
- Specialized training and certified qualifications in s*xual therapy from recognized international bodies (such as COSRT)
- Real practical experience working with clients
- Ongoing supervision by experienced consultants in the same field

Stay tuned for the next video where we’ll talk about the symptoms of psychos*xual difficulties.

from my contribution at IAAUG Conference ✨

It was a pleasure to deliver a lecture on Vaginismus and Dyspareunia in day 1; sharing knowledge and engaging in valuable discussions with colleagues.

Then in day; I had the honor of leading the MESPRT Sexual Medicine Workshop, which was provided as an in-depth overview of Psychos*xual Medicine and highlighted its essential role in everyday gynecological practice. The session focused on equipping gynecologists with practical approaches to assessing and managing psychos*xual concerns, emphasizing the importance of integrating s*xual medicine into comprehensive women's healthcare. The workshop was highly interactive, with engaging discussions and valuable clinical insights.

Now it's time to say... Goodbye, Cairo!👋
Until next time.. ❤️

Vaginismus does not affect your ability to feel s*xual desire, become aroused, or experience or**sms through non-penetrative activities.

If you are experiencing any of the following signs, you can contact me for online assistance and consultation; **Dr. Wafaa Eltantawy**, Consultant Psychos*xual and Relationship Therapist & GMC-accredited Gynecologist.

Vaginismus is the involuntary tightening of your pelvic floor muscles when pe*******on is attempted, making the experience painful, difficult, or impossible.

It is an automatic physical reflex and is entirely treatable, often through pelvic floor therapy, s*xual therapy...

**Symptoms vary widely in severity but typically present in the following ways:**

**Painful Pe*******on:** A burning, stinging, or aching sensation during in*******se. Partners may sometimes describe the feeling as "hitting a wall."

**Insertion Difficulty:** Inability, or extreme difficulty, in inserting tampons, menstrual cups, or medical tools like a speculum during a pelvic exam.

**Anxiety and Avoidance:** Anticipatory anxiety or intense fear surrounding s*xual intimacy, leading to the avoidance of in*******se or gynecological exams.

**Physical Tension:** Uncontrollable tightening of the vaginal opening, and occasionally radiating muscle spasms or tension in the lower back, hips, and abdomen.

Break the cycle of pain and tension and share your thoughts in comments.

Causes of Vaginismus ⁉️Hello, I'm Dr. Wafaa ElTantawy, Consultant in Psychos*xual Medicine, Relationship Therapist and Women's Health Specialist in London.

Vaginismus is a condition where the muscles around the vaginal opening tighten involuntarily, making pe*******on difficult or painful. The causes are often a combination of psychological and physical factors, and they vary from one woman to another.

Main Psychological Causes:
- Fear and Anxiety: Fear of pain, worry about s*x, or general stress that puts the body into "protection mode."
- Past Negative Experiences: Painful attempts at in*******se, uncomfortable s*xual experiences, or previous s*xual trauma.
- Cultural and Upbringing Influences: Negative beliefs about s*x, strict warnings during childhood or adolescence that link intimacy with shame or pain.
- Relationship Issues: Emotional pressure from a partner, lack of trust, or feeling emotionally unsafe.
- Mental Health Factors: Ongoing anxiety or depression that affects the body's natural responses.

Main Physical Causes:
- Infections and Inflammation: Recurrent vaginal infections, thrush, or vaginal dryness.
- Hormonal Changes: Especially after childbirth or during menopause.
- Injuries or Medical Procedures: Tears during delivery, pelvic surgeries, or previous injuries.
- Muscle Tension: Chronic tightness in the pelvic floor muscles due to constipation, stress, or poor habits.

In many cases, a minor physical issue can trigger the problem, and then anxiety reinforces the muscle spasm, creating a persistent cycle.

Understanding your personal causes is the first important step toward effective healing.
