Practical Magick: How Spellwork Helped Me Overcome My PMDD
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2021
- Hi friends, over the last few weeks I've received a lot of questions about my magical practice, including how I bring it together with somatic psychology and my own personal healing journey. In this video I'm sharing the story of a spell that was particularly important to me, and explaining how somatics and spells fit together better than you might imagine.
About Me: Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm a third year graduate student studying somatic psychology. In these videos I'm sharing my personal practice, where I bring together tools from somatic psychology and witchcraft to help people address issues like PMDD, anxiety, and depression.

Witches are just women who have the courage to be free and follow their truth unapologetically. Admirable.
Love your videos, Elizabeth. Glad I found you. I also practice spellcrafting to move through these periods of dense energy. Thanks for being an vulnerable. I have a theory that women who undergo this have a very deep spiritual mission to fulfill on this earth.
Thank you for this video. All my self work has been leading up to this video. I had a moment the other day with a tree, where I felt as if I sprouted from the ground and had roots! It was amazing! PMDD has ruined so many things 😪. But the divine feminine has come to clear the demon. Much love Sister. ❤️
I really needed this video today. Ive been so deeply depreesed and it feels like i never come out of the PMDD it just gets worse.. ive been feeling called to find some kind of practice. Thank you for this video ❤ im not alone!
Ive been in a scary place with my pmdd and this has given me so much hope….! I’d be so grateful to be able to see deeper into your spellwork practises. Thank you for sharing, your content has really triggered an uplifting change in my perspective.
Fellow witchy therapist here! I would love to see you pick up videos again 🥰
You have such a calming presence and voice. So glad I found your videos! :)
You make it so accessible, you have given me a great gift, some agency and power back in my hands. I’ve just ordered some sage and am looking forward to 5 nights time 🌕when I’ll create my own spell jar. I’ll be sending good vibes your way ❤
Girl, that sound settles me too 💕 You are spreading such an important message, thank you, I’m so grateful to have found you 🙏
When I’m feeling vulnerable and consumed by PMDD, your videos help me feel hopeful. Thank you Elizabeth ❤
I would love to see more of your positive resourcing with spellcrafting. I have been in touch with it lately and have PMDD and this is video is very resourceful and so amazing. So thank you for your generosity.
Thank you so much. You have helped me put together so many different pieces. they just needed a little help knowing how they fit with each other. It’s been an incredibly long and tiring journey trying to stay afloat in so much confusion. Things aren’t great but I feel worlds better these days and your videos make me so encouraged to go to school/ workshops/ events I’m so excited to plan!
We can do this together! I truly believe PMDD is a level of generational trauma- all the things we have had to bottle up for ourselves and for those after and before us.
For a little context I was raised super religious so witchcraft has felt very invalidating in a way bc I felt shame. But you talking about how it is a somatic way of working with your intentions OOOOOOOO THAT FIRED ME UP THANK YOU THANK YOU ✨✨✨
Oh my God, you don’t know how well this video made me feel. I am about three years into my spiritual journey, and this has to be the least spiritual connection that I feel when I am in a hell week. Even just watching your video, I was still very skeptical and cynical thinking, but continuing to watch helped leap out that higher conscious mind and I broke into tears because everything that you talked about resonated with me
I have known I’ve had PMDD since I was a teenager and have always felt like there is not enough research or information out there to even know of a possible medical solution. I found your page after listening to the podcast episode and I just want to say thank you for bringing so much serenity and awareness to this topic in a way that feels accepting and mindful. I also have a witchcraft practice and finding this video on the Leo fool moon today is such a godsend! Please keep sharing your experiences you are going to help so many people ❤️
Thank you so so much for this. I really needed this❤
I love your videos so much, thank you for producing such affirming and helpful content and you have such a lovely voice!
Love your videos and energy so much. Just this week I connected the dots that what I have been suffering from for years (maybe longer) is PMDD. Mine is extreme fatigue about 1.5 weeks before my period and a bunch of other things that you mention as well. I am just researching and discovering how to manage this and your approach has honestly been the best thing I have come across. Plus this video of combining magick with PMDD feels like a revolution. I am so grateful for you, thank you.
Loved this video! I feel so similar to you. I love crystals and I’ve been practicing mindfulness since May 2021. I wear crystals every day and I also love how my singing bowl sounds. Plus I have PMDD! Again, I don’t feel alone with your videos. Thank you so much for sharing 🫶🏻
Have most people with PMDD experienced Trauma in childhood? I feel like my brain was built around trauma and maybe is a foundation for PMDD. Curious if this is common for others? Thanks anyone for answering.
I think trauma makes the inner critic/shame/despair more easily triggered since there's life-long history of those feelings there and those negative feelings are familiar from childhood.
Also one video I found recently on UA-cam on the research shows the limbic system/amygdala is more active during pmdd--which would be that fight/flight/trauma-remembering parts of your brain and the more executive parts are less active making it harder to reason out of it at the same time. People without a trauma background--or when you've done work to address that background--probably see those spirals lessen. I definitely feel more despairing in those mood episodes when I'm reminded of my childhood or it becomes that narrative of "I'm broken" etc as Elizabeth mentions in one of her videos.
There IS a relation between the two, but not every PMDD patient underwent childhood trauma. Many are sexual assault survivors. Others have just had the amount of trauma that comes naturally in life, but develop PMDD as a consequence. Look inside UA-cam for more videos on this subject. There are several very good ones.
I appreciate and resonate with so much of what you shared! Also a HSP and deal with c-ptsd. It was so inspiring and helpful to hear how you found what delights you and becoming more connected to your authentic self. Thank you for sharing!!! ❤
This was so interesting thank you Elizabeth
Incredible, powerful, thank you.
I heard some interesting information the other day about how the menstrual cycles of healthy women should be in sync with the new moon and I’m curious to know what your thoughts and opinions are on this? From any and all angles and perspectives, especially Sally’s perspective
Thank you for doing what you do 🙏🏻
Thanks Elizabeth! I’m doing a PhD in eco feminism and I wrote about the power of witchcraft for activism but I also recognise it as a tool for healing and self empowerment. I deal with pmdd and this was such a lovely video to find, it speaks to my soul, thank you and would love to speak about your research sometime x
love this video! i really enjoy your perspective on witchcraft and how it can help with pmdd especially as it relates to somatic psychology.
also, i wanted to let you know that the term "smudging" in a witchcraft context is a misnomer as it is actually a sacred practice for certain indigenous tribes. i believe the correct term in a witchcraft context is "smoke cleansing"
thanks again for such a great video, i'll definitely be trying some of this out ☺
Great ending! Like a magical witch, you just disappeared! ☺️❤️
I'd love to know some of the books you read or resources you learned your rituals from 💛
Can you please suggest some of the books you read about witchcraft and such practices....
I want you to know when you’re talking about the stag and you say this is silly stay with me, I did not think it was silly and I stay with you. You being and sharing you is helping me, thank you sister🌀🌼🟡
