The Silent Fire: Reclaiming Desire, Clarity, and Power Through Perimenopause & Menopause

A Doctor & Psychologist's Guide to Hormones, Low Libido, Painful Sex, Brain Fog, Emotional Chaos, and the Intimacy No One Talks About. This book reframes menopause and sexual changes not as decline, but as a biological and psychological initiation that modern medicine and culture have failed to guide women through. Central Truth: "You are not broken. You are not failing your partner. You are not 'just aging.' You are transitioning — without a map." The book integrates: · Medical science (hormones, HRT, non-hormonal options, vulvovaginal health) · Psychology (identity loss, desire shutdown, resentment, people-pleasing) · Sexual health (pain, dryness, libido mismatch, body image) · Relationship repair (communication, shame release, emotional safety) · Self-reclamation (power, boundaries, pleasure, voice) ?? UNIQUE ANGLE (What Makes This Book Different) Most menopause books: · Focus only on symptoms · Are clinical OR spiritual — rarely both · Avoid sex or oversimplify it This book: ? Connects hormones + trauma + desire + identity ? Addresses the unspoken grief of losing one's former self ? Talks openly about painful sex, aversion, resentment, and silence ? Speaks to women who still love their partner but feel numb or shut down ? Gives language women can finally use with doctors and partners This Book Concepts on: Menopause symptoms Perimenopause symptoms Low libido in women Painful sex menopause Menopause brain fog Loss of desire after 40 Hormonal imbalance women Intimacy issues with menopause
