Karlie kicks off a mini-series on perimenopause and menopause, exploring why this transition is so much more than a hormonal shift. She reveals the deeper emotional and nervous system patterns that drive symptoms—and why addressing these is essential for practitioners working with women over 35.Perimenopause isn't just about declining hormones—it's a rite of passage, an identity transition, and a release of decades of emotional load.What You'll LearnWhy supporting hormones alone isn't enough during perimenopauseHow fluctuating hormones trigger nervous system threat responsesThe identity crisis hidden beneath perimenopause symptomsWhy decades of emotional residue surface during this transitionHow to reframe perimenopause from "problem to fix" to "rite of passage"The Real ProblemClients eating well, taking supplements, moving their bodies, even on HRT—yet still experiencing fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and disconnection. The issue? It's not always something missing in the prescription.What's Really HappeningNervous System Under Threat Fluctuating estrogen and progesterone impact neurotransmitters and the entire nervous system. The body interprets hormonal shifts as threats, triggering elevated cortisol and adrenaline—creating anxiety, insomnia, temperature issues, and inflammation.Emotional Tsunami Decades of unprocessed grief, resentment, anger, self-betrayal, and self-rejection stored in the body, tissues, and nervous system—all surfacing now.Identity Crisis Old identities (perfectionist, people-pleaser, achiever, fixer) suddenly don't work anymore. The body makes it clear: these old ways of being are no longer allowed. Perimenopause is the bridge between who you've been and who you actually are.The Missing LinkWomen fear losing their purpose, validation, and identity. They worry about disappointing others if they slow down. Without addressing these subconscious patterns through tools like ERT (Emotion Release Technique), even the best protocols fall short.Why ERT Changes EverythingERT helps:Assess nervous system and subconscious responsesCreate safety in the systemProcess decades-old patternsWork with identity shiftsProvide specific, individualized understandingResults: Reduced anxiety, improved sleep and energy, greater self-understanding, clarity, confidence, and renewed relationship with self.For PractitionersWhen you address these deeper layers alongside hormonal support, you get:Faster, more dramatic resultsBetter client retentionMore referralsCompetitive advantageBottom line: Perimenopause is a rite of passage that needs proper support. It's not a problem to fix—it's a powerful transformation waiting to happen.
