Menopause Signs & Symptoms
Anger
Sometimes it takes us by surprise and other times we know exactly where it is coming from. Even if it’s been suppressed for years.
Menopause can bring up trauma in waves or layers, waves we think we have already addressed, but of course there’s always more waves; bigger or smaller that come along in order to clear out more space and literally make room for something else.
That something else is up to you.
You can either keep trying to suppress and hide from it (which, by the way will always catch up with you, at some stage) or you can get curious with it and feel the feels, locate where in your body it is residing and what form it is taking.
Once located and acknowledged, find the charge behind behind it, ask yourself all the WHY’S, or ask someone you trust to ask you the whys, (this makes it harder to ignore).
It won’t be pretty,
it won’t feel comfortable,
there will be a range of emotions…
at yourself, someone else, something else, past or present
Write it down, shout it out, move or reflect on it (give yourself a time so you don’t dive into dwelling for too long).
The best part is figuring out what the pain point aka anger is, then you can address it and move forward.
Having the emotional maturity to be able to articulate what support you need from others at this time is invaluable to your future, and your sanity (yes tongue in cheek here).
Ask yourself the bigger question
Do I want a brighter future or one in which I’m always running from myself.
Menopause / Andropause has a way of unleashing on us, hormones arn’t just about reproduction.
