There are very few mental health professionals with the level of medical intuition to be able to work with women who are coming in with the type of symptoms you are describing. It is because your generation has different needs and you are way more connected to your body and have a higher level of consciousness at a younger age than we have experienced in previous generations. Similarly, most medical doctors are not trained to look beyond isolated symptoms and see a holistic picture of what is going on with a woman. Neither profession is trained that way. and it is important for people to begin to realize that it is often not done on purpose, per se, it is a lack of wisdom and or cultural history of the way women have been treated that leads to the dismissive attitudes. Your story is important in that it highlights the importance of understanding "anxiety" symptoms as a source of bodily wisdom to explore not simply dismiss or medicate away. thank you for sharing your story.
