Have you ever wondered how to maintain a social life while dealing with the emotional rollercoaster of PMDD? Join Amy and me as we share our personal journeys through the ups and downs of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and its profound effects on relationships and dating. From the high-energy days of the follicular phase to the low-energy moments of the luteal phase, we open up about the guilt and pressure of canceling plans and the importance of embracing self-acceptance. 

Relationships can be a minefield for anyone, but add PMDD to the mix, and the complexities double. This episode is dedicated to uncovering the emotional and psychological hurdles faced by both partners when PMDD is involved. Together, Amy and I discuss how trauma and attachment styles influence these relationships and the critical role effective communication and self-awareness play. Understanding your own strengths and weaknesses during the luteal phase is essential, and seeking external support can make all the difference in nurturing a healthy partnership.

In our final segment, we tackle the often-overlooked topic of healing from childhood trauma and learning self-compassion. Many of us find ourselves seeking parental figures in romantic relationships, hoping to fill emotional voids from our past. Amy shares valuable insights on the importance of taking personal responsibility for healing and using natural cycles as a tool for self-improvement. Tune in to discover personalized healing methods and self-care tips that can help you build healthier, more autonomous relationships.
