Embracing The Change: Emotional Wellbeing for Menopause

Here you’ll find all the worksheets and information you need to put into practice what you’ve learned.

What we learned:

We explored how Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT ) can help to reduce unpleasant symptoms of menopause such as night sweats, hot flushes, sleep problems, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. We discussed how although we can’t eradicate these natural symptoms, we can start to feel empowered to take control back of our body and mind and make some positive changes.

We introduced the 5 areas model as a way of understanding how our thoughts, behaviours, emotions and physical symptoms can create a vicious cycle that can make us feel quite stuck. We looked at how CBT techniques such as thought reframing, worry management and breathing exercises can help break these cycles. We provided top tips for self-care, clothing, bedding, diet and better sleep.
