“My emotions feel like they’re non-stop!” “I have no energy.” “I want to hide my body.”
For most women, traditional pharmaceutical interventions fall short for treating the mental and emotional rollercoaster of Pre-Menstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).
Many clinicians ignore the diagnosis that affects millions of women.
But, the reality is the depression, anxiety, mood swings, trouble sleeping, panic, and body image issues – even suicidal thoughts – can make day-to-day life for these women unbearable. Relationships with loved ones, work, diet, doing the laundry, all these areas suffer for women bogged down mentally, emotionally, and physical by PMDD.
Be the therapist that listens! The therapist that does more than refer to a medical provider for birth control or hormones.
Join Kristine Spano, PsyD and licensed psychologist for an all new training that incorporates principles of DBT & CBT into the therapeutic treatment of PMDD. In this training you’ll shatter the myths that are keeping women shackled in the pain of PMDD and be able to provide genuine evidence-based interventions that support women – you’ll learn:
How to assess and diagnose PMDD
How the body’s biological changes impact mental health
Interventions across all affected domains – relationships, career, body, and more!
