Tina, Marketing Manager, 38

Why did you decide to sign up for Bedelicious?

I wanted to delve into my femininity, into feeling and sensing. Wanted to feel comfortable in my own body and accept it for what it is. Use it to provide me with happiness as well as having the ‘desire to have sex’.

What has changed for you?

The impression of my body has already changed quite a lot. I used to conceal my large chest. Today, I am still aware of my breasts, but in a different way. I’m standing straight. I still put on my scarf a lot, but I am fine taking it off too.

In addition, I can confide in my partner more easily about my wishes and needs and about our sexuality. The barrier is gone.

Overall, I can say that I feel much more comfortable in my body and can accept it completely. That I have established a friendship with it. That when I stand naked in front of the mirror, I no longer turn away immediately, but welcome myself. Before that it was more like this: undress, get dressed, continue.

I have also gotten more confident regarding my sexuality.

What would you say to a woman who is still considering whether or not she should sign up?

I can only think of: Do it, sign up *laughs*

Why did you choose Bedelicious?

The main issue before the seminar was that I was not really satisfied with my body.
I decided to participate in the seminar because I wanted to do something to refresh our love life.

 

What has changed for you? 

My relationship with my body has improved significantly. My perspective has changed thanks to the seminar and has resulted in me feeling more content with my own body! I don’t think the process is over just yet, but it has been a significant step forward to feeling more comfortable and appreciating my reflection more than I used to. It has made me feel more confident and in some situations I am also presenting myself with more self-esteem. Whether it be in my relationship or in general. And people notice.

 

You mention that you have become more confident both in general and in your relationship. Are there specific situations that you can recall when you noticed that?

Yes, for example in my relationship. My boyfriend likes it when I’m more confident and our sex life has improved a lot since then. After all you can’t appear sexy if you judge yourself so harshly.

And then one or two colleagues approached me on the Mondays after the seminar, saying: “What did you do on the weekend? You look so happy!” Apparently, I was giving off positive vibes.

I have also noticed myself that there was something and that I had more energy after the seminar. This is the level I would like to stay on, even during my everyday life which can be stressful at times.

To you, what was the difference between the individual lessons and the seminar series?

There was definitely a difference. I realized that the exchange with other women was more intense than talking directly to a counselor. Receiving all these different impressions and experiences is a greater exchange with more impact. I have benefited greatly from the experiences of the other women. Overall, the weekends of the seminar are more intense and longer than any one-on-one session. You have two complete days with exercises compared to ninety minutes of conversation.

What would you tell a woman who is still contemplating?

I would recommend it to any woman, who is still not certain on whether or not she should participate in the seminar.

The seminar helps you significantly getting to know yourself and your limits better, whether it be in your relationship or life in general. The experiences can be integrated in all aspects of your life: with your friends, at work as well as your relationship.

I would say that this seminar makes sense for EVERYONE, unless you are completely content and in peace with yourself!

Have you resettled in your everyday live?

Yes, even though I still have no regular routine due to my current situation in life. However, I was able to introduce many experiences from the course into my life.

Why did you decide to sign up for Bedelicious?

I have been aware since some time now that my lack of self-love is one of the reasons for many of my problems. I decided to attend this course in hopes to get support from people with experience and thus learn to help myself better.

What has changed for you?

Experiencing how beautiful it can be and how important it is to build a healthy relationship with myself has changed the way I view myself. The exercises as well as dealing with myself, have helped me to put my focus back on the aspects of myself that are essential to me. For instance, I am able to understand myself even better during situations of conflict and don’t struggle as much as I used to when telling my counterpart how I feel and why. With this foundation of a newfound understanding, arguments can be resolved easier, which serves as a relief to me and as a result leaves me more content. With myself, the other person and the success of coping with the situation at hand.

Can you recall specific situations during which you have noticed these changes?

It was of the utmost importance to me to understand and accept that the general confrontation with myself is unavoidable. And even though that seems so simple, this was a very impactful realization for me. The tasks we have done helped me to understand where I am in life right now, why I ended up at this point, and I realized how I wanted to live – and how not. In this case, the group work and the exchange with the other women had been incredibly helpful.

To you, what was the difference between the individual lessons and the seminar series?

The amazing thing about the seminar was that Angela was able to create a safe space where we could let go completely. Almost immediately, there was a sense of unconditional trust within the group, which we were all able to feel. That way every single woman could open up in her own way. It was also very touching to see how not only my sense of self changed throughout the course of the seminar, but how all participating women gained new experiences and developed further. I thought that this was especially inspiring!

What would you say to a woman who is still considering whether or not she should sign up?

The seminar has opened a new door of awareness for me! Since then, I’ve noticed quite a few times how important it is to me to express myself to others and share how I feel. Without having to feel ashamed or scared. I have not been aware of that. It helped me immensely to hear that I’m not the only one struggling with certain topics. Such a great enrichment. The course has also made it clear to me though that talking alone won’t bring real change. In order to break through our patterns, which have adopted over a long period of time, we need additional impulses. Hence, why I was especially pleased with the practical exercises that gave us the opportunity to be courageous and put what we learned into action. That was great fun!
