How Does Talk Therapy Help With Severe PMS Or PMDD? - Dr. Dunnewold (VIDEO)

Dr. Dunnewold:

I think talk therapy is most valuable in terms of providing perspective. How are you handling this, are you letting your brain run away with you, that you’re a horrible person because you’re acting this way rather than being able to stop and say, “You know, this is something I don’t have control over. This is something in my brain that I can cope with but I can’t really will it away.” That’s the most important thing I think that can come out of talk therapy or psychotherapy; it’s that perspective change.
