When things go wrong, some kind of fear response or physical discomfort or pain is usually at the root of the problem. This workbook is designed to help women understand and begin to overcome the fear or pain that inhibits or blocks their sexuality. Interweaving the voices of women who have struggled with these problems, the authors provide a series of exercises designed to help readers map the terra incognita of their own bodies and and work through individual self-guided treatment modules for specific problems.
