Possible Buried Beliefs

  • My body isn't safe.
  • If I open myself, I'll be hurt.

Healing Notes

Pain during intercourse may reflect unresolved sexual trauma, fear of surrender, or threats to identity and safety. GNM associates it with forced-contact or self-worth conflicts. Spiritually, it may represent a wounded feminine seeking protection and permission to heal.
