#36 Perimenopause Isn’t Causing Your Anxiety - It’s Exposing It

In this episode, I explore something I see repeatedly in my work with women in midlife: anxiety that feels new during perimenopause is often not actually new - it has simply become harder to override.Hormonal changes during this phase can increase vulnerability to anxiety, and that physiological shift is real. But for many women, perimenopause exposes long-standing patterns of nervous system activation that have been quietly managed for years.I talk about the difference between new anxiety and amplified anxiety, why midlife often reduces our tolerance for chronic stress, and why hormones alone don’t explain the full picture.If your anxiety feels louder in midlife, this episode will help you understand why.Connect with me:Website: https://www.myholistictherapist.comNewsletter: https://www.myholistictherapist.com/newsletterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/myholistictherapist
