What is vaginismus and how is it resolved?

Vaginismus is an involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles that makes intercourse impossible. It has a psychophysiological basis — your body is reflexively responding to what it perceives as a threat. Contrary to what many women fear, it is not a physical "defect."

The solution runs on several tracks

The modern approach combines (1) accurate sexual education, (2) gradual desensitization, (3) partner involvement, and (4) conscious hypnosis. We balance these four legs individually for each client.
