For Therapists and Other Providers

 For therapists and other health providers who want to know more about working with PMDD…

One of the biggest factors that aids in the mastery of living with PMDD is the support and love that is given to us along our journey. As we know, support systems and helpful resources make a significant difference in many types of mental and physical health treatments.

Too often I hear about women who have been misdiagnosed and mistreated for something that all along was PMDD. In the beginning of my own journey with PMDD I struggled greatly to find providers that were even familiar with PMDD, let alone who understood and could guide me through the experience. My own encounters, along with the countless (and strikingly similar!) stories I have heard from other women, have inspired me to create a program that offers both training and support to the helpers and healers that so often come in contact with women on their journey with PMDD.

As a fellow traveler on this path, I can share with certainty the difference you can make in so many women’s lives just by understanding the deep and profound impacts of living a life with PMDD.

This offering is something that holds deep purpose to me as both a PMDD warrior and a PMDD coach + psychotherapist.

With my own PMDD lived experience, and years of treating women with PMDD in my psychotherapy practice, I have created a training specifically for psychotherapists (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, etc.) but with far reaching benefits to any health provider working in women’s health and wellness services.

This knowledge will help create an awareness around the PMDD diagnosis so you can confidently guide your clients and provide them with the resources they need.

Here you will….

• Become intimately familiar with a variety of experiences and symptoms of PMDD, what this looks like in the lives of clients, and a greater knowledge of premenstrual disorders to serve all the women you treat.

• Learn how to fully support women living with PMDD. Through symptom management interventions and skills, resources for medically as well as naturally treating PMDD and adjusted versions of many of the tools you are already using as a psychotherapist to meet the needs of women with PMDD.

• Understand how to integrate this work into couples therapy, learning to create a deeper understanding for both partners, utilizing what you learn of living with PMDD to engage partners as advocates and supporters of PMDD over the foe or rival it can often turn our partners into and tailoring couples work to fit with the monthly battles of PMDD that ensue in the relationship.

• Understand how to integrate this work into parent child therapy, learning to engage attachment theory as a means to create an understanding and connectedness that our daughters so deeply need during PMDD, tools to engage parents as PMDD warriors along-side their daughters and tailoring parent child therapy to fit the shifts that PMDD bring.

• Have a space to connect and network with other providers who desire to be a beacon of light for these women suffering from PMDD and helpful tools to work together in this shared purpose.
