I used to call the week before my period “the dark place”.
For part of the month, I felt open, alive, clear, and connected.
Then suddenly I’d become irritable, doubtful, overwhelmed, and completely disconnected from myself.
I didn’t understand why I could feel like two different people.
And for a long time, I assumed something was wrong with me.
What I discovered through years of study and thousands of hours working with women is that PMS is not something to simply push through or dread forever.
