Description
In this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Allanah Casey, a clinical psychologist based in Tauranga, to dive deep into the challenges women face during perimenopause and the impact on mental health. Allanah, who specialises in supporting women through various life transitions, shares her insights on how perimenopause affects emotional well-being, from anxiety and low mood to concentration problems and fatigue. We discuss the importance of recognising these mental health struggles as part of the perimenopausal journey and how women can manage them with self-compassion and professional support. Allanah also shares her experience working with clients dealing with perinatal and menopausal mental health challenges, and how crucial it is to seek help during these turbulent times. Tune in for a heart-to-heart conversation on navigating these changes and taking care of your mental health during perimenopause.
