PMDD Partner Stress Free Package- Weekly Private Sessions

Click to join the PMDD Partners Breakup Proof Academy

Ever feel like your partner isn't understanding or meeting your expectations, particularly when dealing with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)? Together, we challenge the status quo on uncommunicated and unmet expectations in relationships, especially when one partner has PMDD. We lay bare the strain these expectations bring, often leading to misunderstandings and escalating into conflicts. We also delve into how these expectations may stem from our own imagined ideas of how things should be, leading to feelings of neglect, resentment, and abandonment when they are not met.

Strap in as we probe deeper into the adverse impact of unmet expectations on your self-esteem and relationship satisfaction. Discover how these unfulfilled expectations can lead to a lack of respect for one's PMDD partner and create an illusion that can be quite different from reality. We emphasize the need for managing expectations and open communication about needs and desires to maintain a healthy relationship. 

Finally, we uncover the essence of gratitude, understanding, and communication in PMDD relationships. Learn the importance of having realistic expectations based on observed behaviors rather than imagined scenarios. We discuss how expressing appreciation when expectations are met can help alleviate disappointment, and how understanding the balance of ways your PMDD partner shows up for you is vital. Join us in navigating these complex dynamics and gain invaluable insights on managing expectations in a PMDD relationship.
