Welcome to Episode 106 where we will be chatting with Robyn Jackowich all about a condition known as Persistent Genital Arousal Disorder.

Robyn is a PhD candidate in Clinical Psychology at Queen’s University (Kingston, ON) working with Dr. Caroline Pukall in the Sexual Health Research Lab (sexlab.ca). Robyn’s research focuses on a distressing but poorly understood concern of genitopelvic discomfort called persistent genital arousal disorder/genitopelvic dysesthesia (PGAD/GD). Her program of research examines the prevalence and symptom expressions of PGAD/GD, psychosocial predictors and consequences of PGAD/GD, as well as barriers faced to accessing treatments.  Robyn is also a student clinician in the Sleep Therapy Service and Sex & Relationship Therapy Service at the Queen’s Psychology Clinic.  She is a CIHR Vanier and Ontario Women’s Health scholar, and her research has been recognized by awards and grants from a range of organizations including, the Journal of Sex and Marital Therapy and the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health.
