Perimenopausal Mental Health: My Personal Journey with Kylie Patchett
2023-02-15
Host Kylie Patchett's vulnerable share around her personal journey through the mood and mental health impacts of perimenopause, including:
- How as a biologist I am a little embarrassed to share how blindsided I was by some of the changes perimenopause have brought to me and why I'm so passionate about making sure women in their 30s are forewarned and therefore forearmed
- My decision to share the truth in my own journey in the hope that it helps others to be honest, to seek support and understand the factors which can influence mental health and mood
- The fact that I fell off a self-confidence cliff and walked through a deep valley of self doubt recently, and how deep emotional pain and grief from childhood came bubbling to the surface - and how I chose to deal with it in a completely new gentler way
- A word on trauma and how deep emotional pain can rise to the surface to be healed when we are more vulnerable to stressors and less able to "shove" emotional down with busy-ness or distraction
- How the same Self Care principles in my first book have become the framework for me to create a deeper keel of self care to cut through the sometimes stormy seas
- How I've come to understand that the impact on perimenopause on my mental health is a perfectly timed invite to deeper self compassion and a gentler way of being
- My friends in their 50s on the other side of Menopause and how they've helped me to see the same patterns of inability to cope and intolerance to stress about 5 years ago when they were about where I am now .. and the renewed lease of life these women which reminds me "this too shall pass"
