Hypnotherapy and the Menopause

Menopause is something that can affect EVERYONE! Either because they are female and their bodies will go through this change or because you are in close contact with a female who will undergo this process.

Menopause itself is the end of a chapter in a woman’s life. In the years leading up to this point, she is peri-menopausal.  During the peri-menopausal years a woman’s oestrogen and progesterone levels fluctuate.  When these hormones are out of whack, the body can go haywire both physically and emotionally.  Even post-menopause symptoms can still be experienced.

The most common symptom associated with the menopause are hot flashes.   However, these are one of the most manageable as they are anticipated.  A more surprising side effect is ANXIETY. Other symptoms can be panic attacks, weight gain, low mood, exhaustion, brain fog, depression, insomnia, lack of confidence, low libido, aching limbs and joints its like the fun never ends.

Other glorious symptoms include heart palpitations, irritability, hair loss, memory loss, dizziness, incontinence and bloating.  Menopause is a tough ride for all concerned.

The prescribing of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is still considered controversial, so many women opt not to choose HRT for health and personal reasons.  Even when on HRT women often still struggle with their symptoms.

Clinical hypnotherapy has been shown to be effective in reducing many of the symptoms of the menopause, supporting you to gain control of your body and emotions.  Helping you to feel more like you again.
