Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Hypnotic Relaxation Therapy

There are 3 induction scripts that build upon each other, each about 20 minutes in length. The first focuses on relaxation, feelings of wellness, wholeness, strength, and confidence. The second focuses more on body image related to sexuality, sexual desire, passion, and romanticism. The third includes suggestions from the previous inductions, but adds a behavior that the woman chooses to incorporate for the last 2 weeks of the intervention. A digital recording will be provided of the intervention content for home practice.

BEHAVIORAL

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Women will be instructed how to do progressive relaxation and will be given the opportunity to ask questions and express concerns. The research therapist will utilize a script to focus the conversation on relaxation and planning the implementation of the behavior. Participants will be given a digital recording of 4 pleasant background sounds to facilitate their relaxation practice. Home practice will be encouraged.
