This week is a special one specifically centred around a phenomenon that happens for people with vulvas. Katrina Grabner vulnerably shares her own story of living with Chronic Sexual Pain. She goes into her decade of frustration and disappointment with the medical system and the internal feelings that came with Chronic Sexual Pain. Katrina now works as an Art Therapist and details how her work now helps others as well as nourishes herself.  Katrina shares her incredibly intimate story as a way of continuing to help normalize and educate those with vaginas about the possibilities for their unexplained pain and the potential for help and hope.
