Rage in PMDD is not psychological — it’s physiological

The “hot rage” you feel is coming from:

• progesterone-sensitive GABA receptors
• sudden adrenaline surges
• higher cortisol reactivity
• amygdala overactivation
• reduced serotonin signalling

This creates body-first rage, not “thought-first” anger.

You can’t “think your way out” of it, because the rage starts in the autonomic nervous system.

So you need a body-first intervention.
