When Hormones Shift, So Can Your Mental Health

Perimenopause isn’t just physical—it impacts mood, focus, and emotional well-being too.
🔹 Anxiety, irritability, or sadness can increase—even if there’s “no reason”
🔹 Sleep disruptions can intensify emotional ups and downs
🔹 You’re not imagining the brain fog—it’s real and valid
🔹 Therapy can help you navigate these changes with compassion

You don’t have to figure this phase out alone.
Reach out to get the support you deserve.

Parenting Perspectives: When Behavior Is Really a Trauma Response
Not all "bad behavior" is misbehavior. Sometimes it’s a nervous system in survival mode:
🔹 Yelling or Hitting? Could be a fight response—trying to feel in control.
🔹 Avoiding Tasks? Flight mode often looks like procrastination or distraction.
🔹 Spacing Out? Freeze shows up as zoning out or “not paying attention.”
🔹 Over-Apologizing? Fawning can stem from fear of rejection or punishment.
Look beyond the behavior—what is your child really trying to say?

Compassionate parenting starts with understanding the why behind the what.

Real Talk: Perimenopause Messes with More Than Your Period

Mood swings, anxiety, brain fog, and feeling like a stranger in your own body? That’s not “just getting older”—that’s perimenopause.
The hormonal shifts are real, and they can impact your mental health just as much as your physical well-being.
You’re not going crazy. You’re not broken. You’re going through a major transition—and you deserve support.

Perimenopause isn’t just physical—your emotional and mental health can shift too.

Hormonal changes can impact mood, anxiety, and sleep
You may feel more irritable, foggy, or emotionally sensitive
It’s normal to grieve changes in identity, body, or energy
Therapy can offer a safe space to process and adapt
You deserve support that addresses the whole picture—not just symptoms

You don’t have to go through this transition alone.

Building Safety in Your Relationship
True healing starts with safety. When your partner feels seen—not judged—you create the foundation for trust and connection. Here’s how to support that:

✔ Prioritize consent and emotional safety
✔ Offer consistent reassurance
✔ Respond with understanding—not blame—when trauma surfaces
✔ Practice co-regulation to calm together
✔ Honor their healing pace

Love grows in spaces where trust is nurtured. Be that safe place.

Therapists, You Deserve More Than Bubble Baths

Self-care has to go deeper than surface-level fixes.
• Boundaries with clients and your calendar protect longevity
• Supervision and peer support are professional necessities
• Saying “no” is a skill, not a weakness
• Joy outside of work helps you reconnect with purpose

You can’t hold space for others if you’re running on empty.

Mental Health Is a Human Right

For many in minority communities, getting help isn’t easy—but it should be.
🔹 Systemic racism impacts access to quality care
🔹 Cultural stigma can silence emotional pain
🔹 “Strong Black Woman” and “Model Minority” myths create pressure
🔹 Trust in mental health systems may be low—and for good reason
🔹 Culturally informed therapy can bridge the gap

At Genesis Counseling, we provide affirming, inclusive support tailored to your experience.
