Managing PMDD Stress with Mindfulness

After years of struggling with the debilitating effects of PMDD, I'm sharing my personal journey and the powerful impact mindfulness has had on my life. In this episode, I explain why I encourage a multi-pronged approach to managing PMDD, with mindfulness at the forefront. Join me as I dive into the profound connection between stress and PMDD, backed by insightful research conducted by clinical psychologist, Liisa Hantsoo, Ph.D. Discover why mindfulness is an essential tool for managing PMDD and how it can help reduce symptoms such as depression, anxiety, mood swings, and irritability. Explore the potential benefits of incorporating mindfulness into your life and learn how it can fill the gaps in PMDD resources.
