Ever wondered how to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of perimenopause while keeping your relationship intact? Join Gabriella and me as we share our own stories of hormonal chaos and partner misunderstandings, making sense of how serotonin and oxytocin dips can rock the boat. You'll learn about the unique challenge of experiencing your sexual peak amidst these turbulent times, and we'll shed light on practical ways to foster patience and mutual understanding.
We also tackle the sensitivities that come with perimenopause and hormonal times in our lives, delving into the emotional toll and how to manage it without being labeled as "oversensitive." Listen in as we discuss the crucial role of sexual satisfaction and the often-misaligned sexual peaks between men and women. We offer actionable advice on how to maintain emotional balance, emphasising the importance of taking a moment to pause and breathe before reacting.
Finally, we confront the elephant in the room: the significant impact of sexual intimacy, or its absence, on relationships. From a man's perspective, we explore how the lack of sex can magnify other relationship issues, and highlight the physical and emotional challenges women face during perimenopause. We underscore the value of open communication and share strategies to reconnect.
Tune in for tips on maintaining a supportive, understanding partnership during this transitional phase, and don't forget to check out my book, "The Uncomplicated Guide to Perimenopause," for more insights.
