During the menopause, about 60% of women will experience mild to moderate symptoms; 20% of women will have symptoms so severe that they significantly interfere with daily life; and 20% of women will have no symptoms at all. Your genes, general level of health and wellbeing, previous experience of mood problems, cultural expectations and exposure to stressful life events will all impact your experience of the menopause.
​
There are as many as 34 recognised symptoms of the menopause.
The most common symptoms that bring women to my hypnotherapy suite are:

  • hot flushes and night sweats
  • difficulty sleeping
  • anxiety, mood swings and panic disorder
  • low self-confidence
 
On the BBC iPlayer programme, The Truth About The Menopause, it was reported that with talking therapies, a 64% decrease in hot flushes was experienced by women.
In 2013, a randomised control trial was conducted (Elkins, Fisher, Johnson, Carpenter and Keith, Clinical Hypnosis in the Treatment of Post-Menopausal Hot Flashes: A Randomised Trial. NCBI 2013) and it was reported that clinical hypnosis was able to reduce hot flushes in postmenopausal women by over 74%.

There are a few key things you can do that might make a huge difference in managing this change in your life. Among the most important is to reduce the stress in your life.
According to Harvard University stress expert Alice Domar, PhD, the effect of stress on hormone activity can be so profound that it is capable of inducing symptoms. Reducing stress can have the opposite effect. Reducing even small stresses in your life -- or simply setting aside some time every day to relax and unwind -- can not only affect hormone balance but also have a dramatic effect on your mood swings.
 
How may Solution Focused Hypnotherapy help to support you through the menopause?
 
I use a combination of:
  • talking therapies
  • clinical hypnosis
  • well researched techniques
 
This powerful combination may help you to:
  • regain control over your body, reducing the hot flushes
  • relax and unwind
  • sleep better
  • discover effective ways to cope with anxiety and reduce stress
  • identify what triggers your symptoms and what helps
  • focus on the lifestyle changes that may help reduce symptoms
  • challenge and change unhelpful thinking patterns to thoughts that help you to cope with this time in your life
  • increase self-confidence so that you get the real you back
