“My name is Shriya and I am 34 years old. I was in an unconsummated marriage for 8.5 years. Though my partner never pressurized or held me responsible for a sexless marriage it did have a negative impact in the long run ultimately leading to divorce. This shattered me as I started to feel lonely and depressed. I felt completely hopeless and out of options. I decided it was time I faced my fear and that I should seek help from therapist. This is when I across Martha’s website.
The video posted on the website “The Crying Project” detailed exactly everything that I was going through almost 1/3rd of my life. Without further delay I booked an appointment. I really had no hopes at that point of time, but I still went ahead with the meeting so I can share what I was going through as I had not shared about my condition with anyone so far. And today, I can say that meeting Martha was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
To me, she is a Godsend, so warm and affectionate and very easy to talk to. She listened to my story, gave me hope and assured that I can overcome this with some practice and relaxation. She walked me through the vaginal anatomy, a combo of techniques and some assignments for me to work on. After the 2nd day of meeting her, I achieved penetration with my finger. It was the first time something was inside me, It was very uncomfortable, I was scared, shaking, crying and happy all at the same time. I was so excited of this achievement that I wrote her an email and was surprised to see a reply from her at that late hour (almost 12am). Over a period of one month, with regular practice and a lot of relaxation, I had vaginal intercourse. I am still exploring myself and only lately (after 3 months) I have started to enjoy intercourse. And today when I think about all these years I wasted, I still cannot get my head around what was it exactly that I was scared of all these years. I highly recommend Martha’s counseling services!
Martha, I can’t Thank you for guiding me through this journey. You are much more than a counselor and a sexologist. You are doing a great job and I want your work to reach as many women out there that suffer in silence. Also thankful for all the other suggestions you had given me and today I feel more confident than I ever was ” – Shriya, received on 26 Nov 2022
