Why Sensitive Women Need More Than HRT
Workshop Details
Understanding hormonal sensitivity and the nervous system helps them to understand their symptoms. Paula discovered how perimenopause impacts the brain and the nervous system in a much deeper way for sensitive women like herself after being prescribed a high dosage of HRT and suffering extreme side effects. This led to her researching and writing a book called Sensitive Women that is about why some women are more sensitive to hormonal changes. She will host a Q and A, and then share some somatic practices geared towards helping sensitive women during midlife.
Presenter Bio
Paula Rastrick is a leading trauma therapist, educator, and founder of the Sensitive Women movement. She offers a refreshing approach to hormonal sensitivity, supporting women through the emotional and neurological challenges we face throughout life. After being prescribed a high dose of HRT and experiencing extreme side effects, Paula uncovered how perimenopause can profoundly impact the brain and nervous system. She began to connect the dots, recognising how hormonal sensitivity had affected her not only during perimenopause and menopause, but also on reflection at pivotal moments throughout her life. This insight became the foundation for her pioneering work, helping women understand the deeper connections between hormonal changes, trauma, and nervous system regulation, especially in sensitive women like herself. Through somatic practices, education, and compassionate dialogue, Paula creates safe, stigma-free spaces where sensitive women can feel seen, supported, and empowered.
