Sex With Chronic Pain or Illness

Pain is a barrier but not a roadblock to pleasure. 

**Sex With Chronic Pain** is an empathetic and informative class led by a distinguished psychology professor with 20 years of teaching experience, who is also a survivor of Stage 4 cancer. This class delves into the often-overlooked intersection of chronic pain and sexual intimacy, offering participants a unique perspective that combines deep academic knowledge with personal experience.

The instructor, having navigated the challenges of chronic pain and illness firsthand, brings a wealth of understanding and compassion to the discussion. The course covers how chronic pain can impact sexual health and relationships, offering practical advice on communication, adapting sexual activities, and finding ways to maintain intimacy despite physical limitations.

Participants are invited to explore their concerns and learn strategies for enhancing their sexual well-being in a supportive and non-judgmental environment. This class is a safe space for anyone looking to gain insight into managing intimacy while living with chronic pain, guided by someone who truly understands the journey.
