In this episode, I sit down with health psychologist and psychotherapist Dr. Sula Windgassen to talk about the brain-body connection behind interstitial cystitis, bladder pain, chronic UTI symptoms, urgency, frequency, and pelvic pain.
We dive into why symptoms can continue even when tests come back normal, how the nervous system and pain science play a role, the impact of food fear and bladder trigger beliefs, and practical tools like mindfulness, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation. Dr. Sula also shares her own personal journey with bladder symptoms and what helped her get relief.
If you’ve ever felt confused, dismissed, or stuck in fear around your bladder symptoms, this episode will help you better understand what may be happening in your body and where to start.
