I’m barely on my dilator journey so I’m barely on dilator 1 and I’m fairly certain that the root of the problem is that my mind is scared of the pain that penetration might cause. I’ve told my pt this and the only thing she says is “it’s not going to hurt” which is not very helpful. My question is to those who have similar problems…what do you tell yourself as you move forward with the dilators? I feel like deep down I know it won’t hurt but I’m still somewhat scared of a pain.
