On this episode of Period Story, I speak to Dr Sula Windgassen, the health psychologist and author of the book It’s All In Your Body.

In this episode, Dr Sula shares:

• Why getting told the issues you’re experiencing are ‘all in your head’ inhibits healing and fosters a message of distrust, isolation and disconnection
• Why categorising psychology as woo woo can preclude so many people that could directly benefit from working with themselves in a slightly different way
• How our psychology and biology can impact each other though psychobiological loops and change multiple systems in our body
• Why it’s important to accept our feelings and experience them in our window of tolerance
• The impact suppressing emotions has on the physical body
• What symptom spirals are and how to interrupt them
• And of course, the story of her first period

Dr Sula says that she wrote her book for people who feel unseen and dismissed in their suffering to know there are options and it’s not all in your head.

Thank you, Dr Sula!
