PMDD, Hormonal Cycles, and Emotional Regulation

I am deeply passionate about supporting people in understanding and healing their relationship with their cyclical bodies. Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) is a severe form of premenstrual sensitivity that can affect mood, relationships, and overall wellbeing. It is often misunderstood or dismissed as “just PMS,” yet for many it feels like a monthly descent—where emotions intensify, self-criticism heightens, and life can feel overwhelming.

For those who are highly sensitive, trauma survivors, or navigating ongoing stress, hormonal shifts can amplify emotional pain and nervous-system activation. Trauma imprints the stress response in the body, and that imprint can echo through the hormonal cycle. I support clients in recognizing how their cycle interacts with trauma, attachment, and regulation, helping them find gentler rhythms of self-understanding and relief.

I can support clients with:

Emotional regulation and nervous-system grounding during the luteal phase
Processing medical trauma, body shame, and dismissal by healthcare providers
Using somatic and EMDR techniques to address root causes of cyclical distress
Building body trust and self-compassion through cycle awareness

I believe that PMDD, like many forms of cyclical suffering, is not a personal failure but an invitation to deepen into the body’s wisdom. Together we can explore how trauma, sensitivity, and hormonal cycles intersect—so you can experience greater steadiness, self-acceptance, and connection to your intuitive self throughout the month.
