Excess of Female Hormones (Hyperestrogenism)

Your hormonal balance has gone out of equilibrium — not in the direction of deficiency, but in the direction of excess. Too much estrogen. Your body is producing more female hormones than it needs, and the effects are palpable: water retention, breast tenderness, heavy or irregular bleeding, mood swings, irritability, exhaustion. Medicine speaks of estrogen dominance and searches for causes in the liver, thyroid, fatty tissue, environmental estrogens. And that search is important.

But there is a level that lies deeper. A question that a blood test cannot answer: what is happening in your inner life that builds up so much pressure that your hormonal system overflows? Why does your body flood itself with the substance associated with receptivity, care, and connection — as if desperately trying to amplify a signal you are not hearing?
