Understanding the Menstrual Cycle
The menstrual cycle can be likened to the four seasons, with each phase significantly impacting a woman's physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. During menstruation, or 'inner winter,' women often feel the need to retreat and rest, reflecting a time of vulnerability and deep introspection. Following this phase, the 'inner spring' represents a renewal of energy as women experience a dynamic rise, inspiring motivation and a desire for connection. Recognizing these seasonal shifts enables men to better understand what their partners are experiencing and how best to support them through each phase.
