Making sense of the overwhelm, anxiety and upheaval of perimenopause

What this is:

A 90-minute online workshop exploring the emotional upheaval of perimenopause, with Bean Bindloss, Nutritional Therapist and Integrative Hypnotist, and nervous system care from Anastasia Griffith, Energy Psychologist and EFT Practitioner.

You'll come away with a clearer understanding of what's driving your anger, rage and overwhelm, and practical tools you can use straight away to steady and support yourself.

This is for the woman who:

• Feels lost and doesn’t recognise who she is anymore

• Is getting scared about how often she’s losing it with her children

• Is drinking more than she'd like and feeling ashamed of it, but has no idea how else to dampen down the intensity of what she's experiencing

• Finds herself scrolling divorce forums and 'what if I just left' threads at 11pm (divorce porn)

• Feels incapacitated by fears she’s never had before - about work, health, the kids, and small things that wouldn’t normally matter

• Is feeling bone tired from holding it all together

• Wants to scream ‘I don’t give a fuck’ to everyone and run off into the woods

• Doesn’t understand this rage which comes like a force from nowhere, and which feels so overwhelming

If any of this sounds familiar, please know that you're far from alone. These experiences are so much more common than most women realise and it definitely does not indicate that you’re broken or losing it. Perimenopause can feel like you’ve had the rug pulled out from under you.

What’s really happening is that the world you have been inhabiting is fundamentally at odds with what women require to thrive. This is, therefore, a societal failing, and absolutely not a personal one. So it’s hardly surprising that in midlife, rage commonly intensifies, or erupts from nowhere, perhaps as a form of resistance.

Bean will explore the unravelling and rebuilding we move through in perimenopause, so you can experience it with awareness and grace, rather than fear and confusion. She'll also cover the practical foundations that help you through it, from how nutrition supports strength and resilience, to where HRT can fit in.

Anastasia will guide us through a powerful somatic EFT tapping journey, a practice you can return to again and again, giving your nervous system the chance to settle so you can meet these emotions with calm and presence rather than being swept away by them.

The aim is not just to give you effective ways to reduce the intensity of these emotions emotions, but for you to have the tools to harness their wisdom - because as you’ll discover, there is so much wisdom to anger and rage - they hold a power that few of us were taught, or given permission, to use.

You’ll also be sent a summary for you to return to when you need it.

We start this exploration with Bean Bindloss, BANT-registered Nutritional Therapist.

And we’ll finish with Anastasia Griffith, Energy Psychologist, EFT Practitioner and founder of The Cortisol Clinic.

Wednesday 25th November | 7.30-9pm BST | £22

There'll be time for questions, and the session will be recorded and shared with you afterwards.
