There’s a week each month — you know the one — where everything just feels off. Emotions run higher, thoughts feel heavier, and the tiniest thing (or no thing at all) can bring tears, irritation, or that all-too-familiar wave of self-doubt.

For many of us, this isn’t just about cramps and bloating. It’s the emotional intensity: feeling misunderstood, ultra-sensitive, fragile, and sometimes irrational — while also knowing (with some part of your brain) that it’s “just hormones.” But that doesn’t mean the feelings aren’t real, or valid. They are. They really are.

And this is where EFT has been such a loving, life-changing support.

🌿 The Emotional Rollercoaster of PMS

During PMS, hormone levels fluctuate significantly — estrogen drops, serotonin dips, and our nervous system becomes more reactive. We may find ourselves in spirals of negative self-talk, increased anxiety, body image issues, or even old wounds bubbling up to the surface.

It’s like the veil between you and your deeper emotions thins. Everything feels louder, rawer. And sometimes you know it’s “not entirely rational”… but that doesn’t stop it from feeling very real.

This is where EFT meets us exactly where we are. No judgment. No fixing. Just gentle presence.

✨ Why EFT Helps So Much During PMS

When I tap during PMS, it’s not about trying to be “less emotional” — it’s about being with what’s here, and gently regulating my nervous system so I don’t feel consumed by it.

EFT works by calming the amygdala (our brain’s alarm system) and helping the body move out of a fight-or-flight response. So when your inner dialogue is loud and critical, or when you’re feeling everything too much — tapping helps bring you back to your center.

Even a short tapping round with statements like:

“Even though I feel so irritable and overwhelmed, I’m allowed to feel this way.”

“Even though my thoughts feel heavy and dramatic, I’m safe to slow down.”

…can shift the emotional landscape within minutes.

It won’t erase your hormones (and it’s not supposed to). But it will offer you a way to be softer with yourself, to find steadiness in the storm, and to soothe those overactivated thoughts before they take over.

💛 Giving Yourself Permission to Feel

PMS is not just a physical state — it’s an emotional window. And EFT is one of the most loving tools I’ve found to move through it with compassion.

I still have the thoughts. I still feel the waves. But with tapping, I don’t get stuck in them anymore. I can hold myself with a bit more grace, soften the inner critic, and return to calm — again and again.

I’ve actually created a dedicated EFT module just for this tender time of the month — and I say that knowing exactly how it feels (after years of going through it myself). If you ever feel like some extra support could help, just send me a message. I’d truly love to share it with you. 🤍

You deserve to feel steady, even in your most tender moments. Let EFT help you remember that. 🌙 🤍
