Course Overview
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe extension of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) caused by fluctuating hormones.
Although it shares many of the same symptoms with PMS — including irritability, depression, mood swings and fatigue — these are much more severe.
For many women with PMDD, symptoms are so intense they report cyclical times in the monthly cycle in which they struggle to function, parent and preserve relationships.
Some women say it’s as if every month before their period, they feel suicidal or homicidal. Yes, that bad.
In this course, Karine Kedar explores the cycle and the emotional effect hormones have on us; we’ll see the similarities and differences between PMS and PMDD, hint – they’re just names – when it’s bad, it’s bad.
Together with Karine, we explore Chinese Medicine concepts regarding the cycle and its disturbances towards our bleeding and offer interventions and ideas to make our monthly cycle a friendly guide to our inner world instead of a punishment.

Karine gave me
October 30, 2022This course came in a time when I needed it most. Karine gave me another view of my body, of my premenstrual symptoms and even on what it means to be a woman. I have more insight in the spiritual, emotional en physical meaning of it. Recommended!
