This is Bonnie Burns with another sex chat Quickey. Today I'm offering the final installment in our

Quicky Kegel miniseries. By now, I hope that you've come to realize the Kegel is a free,

simple, and versatile healing tool. Isn't God amazing in his design of our sexual health?

There is one challenge that I haven't mentioned yet that Kegels can address, and that's

healing from any trauma that may have disconnected you from your body. With Kegels, you have

choice and control. If you do feel you've reached a place in your recovery where you choose to safely start

reconnecting with your body, the kegels are a great first option.

Cagels can help you rebuild connection to your body.

Trauma can cause disconnection and cagles, when practiced mindfully and gently, can help you reengage with your pelvic region,

especially when trust with your body has been shaken. And remember, cagels don't have to be

sexually focused. Cagels also help with bladder continent, which is very important as we age.

Also, cagels help with strength and control. Strengthening the pelvic

floor gives you a sense of control over your body, which is often one of the first things to feel lost

during or after trauma. Kegles can help with pleasure and healing. Many survivors experience

numbness or pain during intimacy or touch. Cagels can

gently reinduce sensation and increase blood flow, potentially making intimacy feel more

comfortable and pleasurable again. And finally, the cagels are something you can choose to do.

They are safe and gradual. Starting with a small, gentle

kegel exercise can be a way of safely reclaiming your body's power without overwhelming

yourself. And because everyone's body does respond differently to trauma, I hope you'd consider

exploring whether the kegel would be beneficial for you with your sexual health

specialist or your trauma therapist.
