How To Know If You're Grieving Because of PMDD with Sarah McCauley LMFT

Mindfulness for PMDD with Diane

Have you thought: "Is this grief? Am I going through grief right now?"
Have you wondered why your experiences don't quite match up with the 5 Stages of Grief model we've all heard about?
If you've got PMDD or any other chronic illness, chances are that, yea, you very well may have experienced grief as a result or are going through grief right now.
Sarah McCauley LMFT is here to validate our feelings of grief and explain why they don't fit the 5 Stages of Grief model.
She also shares 3 Questions to Ask Yourself When Grieving What PMDD Has Taken.
And we discuss:

• Ambiguous grief, what it is, and how it relates to chronic illness.
• How grief is messy and non-linear.
• The 3 Questions we can ask ourselves as we move through grief.
• What you can do to support yourself in your own grief journey.
