Self Diagnosing and Being Your own Doctor. With a Focus on PMDD
Jan 02, 2024
Season 2
Episode 79
Juniper Bennett
I recently self diagnosed myself with PMDD or Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. Self diagnosed because from the little bit of research I did along with being very familiar with how our medical system focuses on treating instead of healing, I wasn’t interested in going to see a doctor who would just prescribe me birth control.
I am on a mission to heal my body so I am heading on a self driven journey. I will be bringing you on every step because we are all continuously healing. We heal one area of our mind, body or soul and it opens up a new and even deeper wound or trauma that needs healing. Or a lot of times, we heal our children and forget to heal ourselves.
Maybe you don’t associate with PMDD, and while I will be talking about it, this episode carries a bigger message. One about finding ourselves, shedding layers, and trusting ourselves to be the most credible healer of self. This is about raising awareness, the power of being our own best doctors and the importance of healing ourselves after trauma.
