Pre-menopausal mindset shifts and peri menopausal self acceptance

I had some resistance to creating videos around menopause. I have not yet reached it and so part of my brain told me that I had no personal experience of menopause, and without personal experience how could I hope to support others?

I’m very comfortable supporting others through trauma recovery, navigating the impact that that has on the inner world and using my own experience to inform my practice and yet with all the research in the world I haven’t yet gone through menopause.

And yet my partner is right in the thick of it. It may not yet be my own, but menopause lives in my home and accommodating, supporting and loving a menopausal woman is part of my life. Part of my personal experience as well as my professional practice and so I have drawn from both of these wells of knowledge to create this month’s video series.

Our first topics, already available on Patreon and YouTube, are rewriting the narrative of menopause and addressing any fears we have around it. Here we use EFT and hypnotherapy to get into a great mindset as we approach menopause. Although it’s by no means the only factor, our mindset can have a huge impact on our experience of menopause, just as it can with any other aspect of life.

At the same time if you’re having a terrible time of menopause, the idea of being positive about it can seem like a cruel joke so just yesterday I added a bonus video to tap through the dark times, accepting where you’re at in a way that’s gentle and kind to yourself. This one is all about being where you are, no judgement, no pressure to be anything different just complete and total self love for every part of you and then even more self love for the parts that struggle to find self love. This is a place where it’s all ok, you are all ok no matter how imperfect you feel no matter what weird things your body’s doing, no matter how pissed off you feel about that, it’s all welcome.
