Who Even Am I Right Now? (And Can Someone Please Turn Down the Rage?)
Some days, it feels like I woke up wearing a full-body marshmallow suit.
Puffy. Inflamed. Joints creaky. Face… not cooperating.
And don’t even get me started on the sudden, unhinged bursts of rage.
I swear, I’m a nice person.
Until I’m not.
One minute I’m humming along to Whitney, feeling kind of cute.
The next? I’m ready to set the dishwasher on fire because someone loaded it wrong. Again.
Welcome to hormonal mood swing, also known as perimenopause, where your body is changing, your emotions are unpredictable, and no one seems to be talking about just how intense it all is.
But I am.
And I’m going to tell you what actually helps because lavender baths and “just take a walk” aren’t cutting it anymore.
If you’re in this season, I see you. And you’re not crazy. You’re changing. And your nervous system is screaming for some actual support.
Enter: EFT Tapping for Perimenopause — a science-backed, nervous system-soothing practice that helps you ride the hormonal rollercoaster without losing your mind (or your relationships).
What is EFT Tapping?
Think of it like emotional acupuncture (minus the needles). You gently tap on specific meridian points on the face and body while acknowledging what you’re feeling — physically and emotionally.
This sends calming signals to your brain, tells your nervous system it’s safe to chill, and helps process stress, fear, and overwhelm in real time. Research shows it can lower cortisol, soothe anxiety, improve sleep, and regulate the nervous system — all of which tend to be out of whack during perimenopause.
Here’s how EFT Tapping can support you:
1. It Calms Your Frazzled Nervous System
Hormonal shifts mean your brain’s stuck in high alert mode. You’re jumpy, sensitive, and everything feels louder. Tapping helps deactivate your stress response, so you can get out of fight-or-flight and into a state of calm presence.
2. It Softens Emotional Swings
Feel like a walking mood swing? You’re not alone. Tapping gives your big feelings somewhere to go — gently, without judgment. You don’t have to pretend to be fine. You get to feel it all and still find your center.
3. It Reconnects You With Your Body
Perimenopause can make you feel like a stranger in your skin. Weight changes, libido shifts, energy dips. EFT helps you rebuild trust with your body by turning toward it with care instead of frustration.
4. It Supports Hormonal Balance (By Lowering Stress)
No, tapping isn’t hormone therapy. But it is powerful stress relief — and stress is one of the biggest hormone disruptors out there. Tapping helps create a safer, more regulated internal environment so your hormones aren’t constantly fighting an uphill battle.
5. It Challenges Sneaky Beliefs About Aging & Identity
Aging doesn’t mean you’re fading. But let’s be honest: this season can stir up some old stories. Tapping helps shift beliefs like "I’m not attractive anymore" or "I don’t matter" so you can root into a new truth: you’re evolving, not disappearing.
6. It Helps You Sleep (And Wake Up Less Exhausted)
If you’re wide awake at 3 a.m. for the third night in a row, you’re not alone. Tapping before bed can signal to your system that it’s safe to rest. Less 3 a.m. spirals. More deep, restorative sleep.
This isn’t just about symptom relief. EFT tapping is about reclaiming your power in a time that often feels disorienting.
