Therapy: An Important Tool In Your Perimenopausal Toolkit with Stefanie Peachey

11/20/24 • 43 min

Mikelle recently sat down with Stefanie Peachey, owner of Peachey Counselling to talk about the unique life challenges women face and why seeking professional help is not only okay, it’s really important. In some age groups, the proportion of women with a diagnosed mood disorder is almost twice that of men.

Women often experience significant stress balancing their multiple roles and when you add in hormonal changes, things can get overwhelming. And the all-too-common tactic of ‘just getting through it’ can be dangerous. Having a therapist help you understand and navigate this life phase can be life changing.

In this episode you’ll discover:

Why a therapist can be a very important tool in your perimenopausal toolkit
How anxiety can distort reality and requires cognitive reframing to manage effectively
Why building a support system is crucial for navigating life's challenges
Why therapy is a valuable resource for anyone, not just those in crisis

Regardless of your struggle, recognizing that you’re not alone and how and when to seek help, are universal first steps that every woman needs, and deserves, to understand.
