Regulating your emotions when you have PMS
PMS is more than a minor inconvenience. It can leave you feeling like a different person half the month, put strain on your relationships and can really derail achieving your other health goals. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Dr. Keara Taylor, a Naturopathic Doctor in Toronto and one of our expert clinicians at The Confident Clinician. Keara’s focus in her practice and her research is on the emotional regulation of people through their PMS experience, and how to equip menstruators with the tools they need to feel more calm and confident throughout the month. In this episode we cover: How to short circuit your PMS in the moment. How to create a PMS toolkit of resources to help you improve your symptoms on your own. How to teach your partner about PMS and why this is an important step. Why “giving in” to your PMS is sometimes the right thing to do.
