💬 Relationships in Perimenopause - with Clinical Psychologist Dr Ella Woods #womensmentalhealth #perimenopause
This video explores how perimenopause can affect relationships, as emotional and physical changes such as mood shifts, fatigue and changes in libido place strain on connection and communication. Open, honest conversations and shared understanding are key during this transition. When partners and family members are supported to understand the biological changes happening in the brain and body, empathy grows and misunderstandings can soften. Practical steps such as scheduling downtime together, finding new forms of intimacy and engaging in shared activities can help maintain closeness during this phase of life.
