A few years ago, this term used to be new to me.
There were many instances where I was triggered and reacted inappropriately, because one of the ways that I managed my own trauma was not to trust anyone and to always push people away.
If I felt threatened at all I would lash out. This almost cost me my job when I was a resident, because I didn't know how to interact with people.
Thankfully I got to a place where I had the luxury to do some introspection, where a lot of women may not have that because a lot of us are still in survival mode even into midlife.
This is why having a safety net relationship is important.
During midlife, we often rethink our relationships. This phase also calls for the rediscovery of self.
In today's episode of The Best of The Menopause Movement Podcast, we have Deirdre Fay, a licensed clinical social worker, who is the author of Attachment-Based Yoga and Meditation For Trauma Recovery.
