Progesterone (Disruptions in Progesterone Production)

Progesterone is the hormone that prepares your body for receiving. It prepares the uterine lining, it stabilises a pregnancy, it brings calm to the nervous system. When progesterone production is disrupted — too little, too much, at the wrong time — this shows up in cycle irregularities, mood swings, sleep disturbances, exhaustion, diffuse restlessness. Medicine treats the hormone level. The psychosomatic perspective asks a different question: why does your body reduce the production of a hormone whose task it is to let you arrive within yourself?
