Psychotherapy for living with Hypermobility, Complex Pelvic Pain and Fibromyalgia

Kate (she/her)

I am a psychotherapist, pelvic floor physical therapist, yoga teacher and pilates instructor.

I live in the space between physical therapy, psychology, yoga and pilates where each informs the other. I love movement, and became a physical therapist to teach movement and provide safe spaces for embodiment under the medical model. I became a psychotherapist because there is no separation between mind and body…there is just how we choose to be in the world.

Hypermobility, conditions that create complex pelvic pain, and fibromyalgia are hard to diagnose, treat and profoundly change the course of one’s life. If you struggle with one or more of these disorders, you already know this…intimately. All of these are invisible conditions that can lead to a feeling of isolation, self doubt, hyper-vigilance and grief over unmet life expectations. How do you tolerate living in a body, living a life that has to adjust for the unexpected, the exhaustion and the medically heavy burden of adapting to life? You might feel like a survivor, or you might feel like you’re barely surviving. You might feel betrayed by your body, or you might feel like you’re having to recalibrate how often your choices are influenced by your body’s capacity.

Connective tissue is the scaffolding that holds our body together. But when that scaffolding is bendy, living in a body becomes a puzzle that often leads to an erosion of trust in healthcare, because our medical system isn’t built to understand, validate and support hypermobility. This leaves folks with largely isolated in managing their embodied experiencing and questioning how to take care of themselves
Chronic pelvic pain is a deep intimate and complicated experience. It might be endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, interstitial cystitis, adenomyosis, pudendal neuralgia, or pelvic floor dysfunction.
Because the pelvis is the body’s center for gravity, elimination, reproduction, sexual expression, and core stability, chronic pain in this region strikes at the very core of a person’s identity.
Figuring out the cause and treatment of complex pelvic pain is often invasive, prolonged and exhausting.
You might look fine on the outside, but hurt everywhere on the inside. You’re exhausted and feel like your nervous system is constantly being fried.
