Did you know that mental health is affected by your menstrual cycle? And have you ever felt like you keep returning to the same mental health issues again and again, when you thought you'd dealt with it already? It was this repeating struggle that led today's guest Addy Buck @addy.innerrhythm to recognise how her mental health and inner healing follows a cyclical path, unlike the the once-done-and-dusted linear approach that the mainstream health system takes.
Addy is a Certified Menstrual Cycle Coach with a Bachelor in Psychology & Counselling, who loves supporting women to lean into their cyclical powers in a linear world, guiding her clients to become comfortable and empowered in their ever-changing cyclical bodies.
In this episode we explored:
- How Addy discovered her mental health was cyclical and her experiences of feeling that something was wrong with her when her conditions and symptoms resurfaced again over time,
- How the menstrual cycle can affect mental health,
- How healing is cyclical (or a spiral!) and why this is a good, powerful thing to appreciate,
- How Addy supports women at the intersection of mental and menstrual health,
- How to discern the difference between common pre-menstrual mindset challenges and mental health conditions that require help.
