When I was growing up, no one talked to me about sex.
At school, we weren't taught anything about it either. At home, it was a taboo subject. So I drew my knowledge mostly from "Bravo", a monthly magazine that had a column with questions about puberty and sexual initiation. The rest of the information I got from friends. Neither source was reliable. When I decided to start having sex, I went to my mom to ask about contraception. I didn't learn anything, but my mom made an appointment for me with a gynecologist. I was terrified. When I told the doctor that I wanted to start having sex with my boyfriend, she answered sternly: "What for???!!!".
It is worth mentioning that I was almost 18 years old. When I asked for contraception (having no clue about it, I only knew about the existence of condoms and some pills, but what those pills were and how they were supposed to work, no one explained to me), the doctor prescribed me a morning-after pill... without explaining anything and ending the visit there. So we filled the prescription and read the leaflet, completely disoriented... "am I supposed to take it after every time we have sex?". Finally, after the first time, when the pill completely deregulated my period, we decided to stick with condoms. And try to somehow figure out what this whole sex thing is all about.
Now I am a psychologist and sexologist, and I observe that the topic of sex is still often a taboo subject in family homes.
Parents do not know how and are afraid to talk to their children about sex. Sexual education in Polish schools does not exist... Young people often do not receive reliable knowledge, which multiplies difficulties and problems that sometimes drag on for many years, requiring specialized help from psychologists, therapists, and sexologists to deal with them. I believe that many of the difficulties my patients come to me with could be avoided.
Hence the idea for this website, a space where everyone can ask a question, share their experiences, talk about what causes difficulties. You can also ask questions to specialists, and if you feel you want to talk longer, I invite you to a sexological consultation with me.
Education
I am a psychologist and sexologist. I graduated in Clinical Psychology at the SWPS University in Warsaw and in Developmental Psychology and Coaching at the WSE in Krakow. Then I completed postgraduate studies in Clinical Sexology at the SWPS University in Katowice.
In addition, I hold a master's degree in Religious Studies from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and in Pedagogy at the Ignatianum Academy in Krakow. I am therefore familiar with various religions and beliefs from all over the world. This helps me greatly in working with people from different cultural backgrounds.
Every person, regardless of gender, identity, orientation, religion, or origin, will be fully accepted in sessions with me.
It's great that you are here.
