Introduction:
In this episode of Women Who Heal, I’m joined by Lizzie,one of my past clients who has navigated the challenging journey of healing from PMDD. Lizzie shares her deeply personal story of how she discovered the connection between PMDD and past trauma, and how this insight has helped her regain control over her emotional responses and heal her relationship with herself. Through powerful insights, Lizzie highlights how regression and hypnosis allowed her to uncover the hidden wounds driving her PMDD symptoms, offering hope for those who may feel like they’re stuck in a never-ending cycle of emotional turmoil. This episode is filled with profound reflections on self-compassion, resilience, and the transformative power of understanding our past.
Show Notes:
Discovering the Red Tent Protocol: Lizzie shares how she stumbled upon my work while researching solutions for PMDD, and how the connection between PMDD and past trauma resonated deeply with her.
The Role of Trauma in PMDD: Lizzie explains how uncovering old emotional wounds, even those that seem insignificant, has been key in understanding and healing PMDD.
The Power of Regression: We discuss how regression and hypnosis helped Lizzie access memories from her early life, including in the womb, to address the core wounds that shaped her emotional responses.
From Emotional Chaos to Self-Compassion: Lizzie reflects on how she learned to approach her emotional flare-ups with understanding and compassion, recognising them as messages from her body and mind calling her to care for herself.
Healing and the Need for Respite: We explore the importance of nourishing ourselves and creating space for rest and healing in our busy lives, especially as women, and how neglecting our needs can manifest as emotional and physical symptoms.
Breaking the Cycle of Old Patterns: Lizzie reveals how understanding her trauma has allowed her to break the cycle of old wounds playing out in her relationships, especially with partners and herself.
Tools for Ongoing Healing: Lizzie discusses the ongoing journey of healing and how she now has the tools to address flare-ups and emotional challenges with greater resilience and self-awareness.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that healing from PMDD is not just about managing symptoms - it’s about understanding the deeper messages our bodies are sending us and learning to nurture ourselves from a place of love and self-awareness. Tune in to hear Lizzie’s inspiring story of transformation and healing.
