To the woman who didn’t sleep well last night…
It could have been due to hot flashes, night sweats, ruminating thoughts or anxiety but this experience is hard to deal with even when having time to recuperate on your days off…
This can throw the rest of your day into a tailspin.

What does the rest of the day look like for you?
- Extremely exhaustion
- Mood swings
- Being short with people
- Paranoia
- Heart palpitations
- Increased Anxiety

None of this feels well. These signs and symptoms can mimic mental health conditions and I’ve met many women who’ve experienced this but guess what?!?!

Did you know it could also be Perimenopause?!?!

How do I know?!?!

Because I’ve experienced some of these symptoms and felt isolated because at the time I only had one friend who was openly expressing similar concerns.

Well, that’s changing!!! What if you had a community of women who are going through the same things and they are able to normalize your experience?

That’s what The ‘Pause is, a community of women coming together to support each other through one of the most difficult times of your life.

I Wish I had this community when my symptoms started but here I am offering this revolutionary support group to you.

Join us for this AMAZING group where you will feel supported, held, heard and encouraged.

Fill out the form below to join. You don’t have to walk this walk alone.

Space limited due to the community we are building!!!

I’d love to see you feeling better and getting some much needed answers to help you make it through Perimenopause.

Had the pleasure of getting an of and privilege of providing review. I found myself struggling to find the words to articulate the depth of this memoir and I hope I do justice.



: You Lied to Me About God by Jamie Marich

As a fellow LCSW and EMDRIA Certified, CIT, trauma therapist specializing in dissociation, I found Dr. Jamie Marich's memoir, You Lied to Me About God, left me pondering how to articulate the depth of this profoundly, courageous, venerable, and necessary movement towards a deeper understanding of trauma and healing. Marich's narrative is raw, deeply relatable, and insightful, offering a true glimpse into the journey of a complex trauma survivor striving to live authentically. Jamie is the modern-day example of the “Wild Woman” in all her glory; representing the instinctual, untamed aspect of femininity that is often suppressed by societal, cultural, generational, and religious expectations. Marich's journey is a powerful illustration of reclaiming this “wild”, authentic self in the face of trauma and repression while navigating the weight of messages and what it means to be human, on the soul from an early age. I commend her for the strength and journey towards this memoir, sharing what we as providers are often directed as taboo. This begs the question for me: What if renowned researchers and scholars, like Marsha Linehan Ph.D. and DBT founder, had felt comfortable sharing their truth sooner? Imagine the progress we might have already made in battling the deep darkness of the soul, that we too may know of, that takes the lives of so many today.

You Lied to Me About God is a compelling, necessary read for anyone in the helping field, seeking increased awareness of trauma, effective trauma treatments, including addiction and dissociation. Marich's honesty and vulnerability offer a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of therapeutic intervention, in a multitude of ways that honor individuals without black and white parameters. It explores the complexity of uncovering the dark wounds of generations' survival responses culminating into one person's darkness and the ever changing climb to find peace within the soul. This memoir can only enrich our professional practice simultaneously solidifying the necessity of digging deeper than just the surface. . Much gratitude to the impact of her vulnerability of shining light, in her purpose, the complex interplay of trauma, spirituality, addiction, mental health, dissociation, and healing.
