In Part 2, Dr. Ginger Garner continues the conversation with Dr. Heather Jeffcoat, PT, DPT, diving into pleasure, intimacy, and healing beyond pain.
This episode explores alternative pleasure pathways, why penetration is not required for satisfying intimacy, and how pelvic floor physical therapy can help people safely reconnect with their bodies after pain, trauma, or hormonal changes. Dr. Jeffcoat shares practical guidance on tools like lubricants, dilators, and vibrators, along with compassionate advice for partner communication, boundaries, and rebuilding trust in the body.
Hopeful, affirming, and deeply practical—this conversation reminds listeners that pleasure is possible, healing is real, and pain is not something you have to live with.
