It arrived slowly, in all the moments you were too tired, too busy, or too unsure how to begin.
Your body is changing, your roles are shifting, and the relationship you thought you knew keeps surprising you.
This is midlife and it asks more of a partnership
than most people are prepared for.
You’ve tried deep breathing, going for walks, and couples self-help tips, like practicing compliments before sharing complaints, but the heaviness doesn’t go away. You wonder if others feel this particular brand of loneliness too.
There are so many new questions in this time of life.
The gates of menopause.
Everybody says to keep your sense of humor.
You weren’t prepared for the anxiety about your relationship, the way your body would sometimes recoil, betraying what you have worked for all these years.
The tone of your voice is unmasked now-
the emotional overload revealed.
You promised yourself you wouldn’t have one of those marriages that was made of cardboard.
But you question if it’s safe to tell the truth.
It’s terrifying to even think of letting your partner see the messiness of your mind. Things don’t always make sense inside, and you fear they will find out
that you were too much all along??
A part of you knows that isn’t true, but now there is a new sense of urgency not to hold back anymore.
Not to hold back your fears, your longings, your deepest gifts.
Fact: highly sensitive women in transition don’t need more information. They need a space where their experience is finally witnessed and worked with, not managed alone.
This is a rite of passage where you need a therapist who is as kind as she is smart. I’m ready to help you develop emotional mastery and compassionate connection during menopause and postpartum. Are you ready too?
