Hi Lynne, I’d love any tips you have for cues or techniques to encourage PF realxation? I use directed breathing or connection to breath, but some women have a lot of trouble letting go as you shared. Thanks
Relaxing the pfm’s is a challenge for some. Breath is always a great way to work with the pfm’s however some people have challenges with that too. Remember the pfm’s are contracting sometimes out of fear of safety and not feeling safe. When the deeper issues are addressed then relaxation is easier. IF they are doing it subconsciously it’s a deeper issue at play. Helping them find support to explore those issues is really helpful. A trauma therapist or a somatic experiencing therapist can be helpful. If you want to learn how to dive deeper into issues like this my Birth Healing Intensive program will help you to learn how to do this.
Oops! thanks for letting me know. It’s so hard to keep all the words straight. I do it in my labs too, but I can catch those easier. I appreciate you letting me know. Thanks.
Great pictures and knowledgeable unit. Thank you

Hi Lynn! I think you may have gotten “vagus” (latin for “wandering”) and pudendal (latin for “to be ashamed of”–yuck!) mixed up here in this lecture 🙂
