Many people with high sensory sensitivity, also known as highly sensitive people (HSP) are sensitive to the cyclic hormonal fluctuations and may experience even more sensitivity during the premenstrual phase as well as during the years of peri menopause and menopause.
Those with a highly sensitive nervous system are more likely to be impacted by changing hormone levels as they rise and fall during the menstrual cycle and even more during perimenopause when hormones tend to fluctuate wildly and unpredictably.
This is often also the experience of women or AFAB who are neurodivergent due to increased nervous system sensitivity to hormonal changes.
This isn’t indicative of ‘something being wrong’ with you, it’s your finely tuned system giving you feedback.
There are ways to make it easier to navigate these times of even higher sensitivity, my approach includes nutrition, herbs (where needed), breathwork + focus on grounding, boundaries and other self care supports specific to highly sensitive people.
