Inside Out 2: Puberty or Perimenopause?

In this episode, Peggy highlights some of her takeaways from the movie, Inside Out 2, viewed through the lens of her experience as a mom to 5 girls and as a mental health therapist. She also gives her reasons why this movie about changes in girls as they enter puberty mirrors some perimenopause symptoms for women

later in life.

 

Inside Out 2 is a great movie about the various feelings we have and what goes on in the mind as we experience those feelings. Sometimes it may feel like we are hijacked by our emotions and feelings, that we have no control over them, but we do.

 

Some main points about the movie include:

• Our memories make beliefs.
• Our bodies and minds store everything that happens to us.
• You create the meaning of your experiences.
• Every emotion / feeling is good for you. 
• Your imagination can work for you or against you.

 

Listen as Peggy gives reason this movie is not only about the changes in mood for girls going through puberty, but also women going through perimenopause.
