Description
CBT is proven as an effective alternative for women who are looking for non-medical approaches for challenging menopause symptoms, and for those who do not want or are unable to use hormone therapy (HT). Written in an accessible and interactive style, with case examples and quotes, this guide will empower you to take control of your menopause.
It covers:
– Taking a bio-psycho-social approach to understand the range of factors that might influence your experience of the menopause
– Preparing for the menopause – no need to expect the worst!
– Using interactive questions and tasks to help you understand the links between menopause symptoms, thoughts, feeling and coping behaviours
– Helping you to implement your key goals for this important stage of your life, whether your menopause is early or ‘on time’ or a consequence of surgery or breast cancer treatment
– Enhancing your self-esteem through behaviour change and a compassionate mindset
– Helping partners and loved ones to support you through the menopause
