Let's explore a gentle approach that could offer some much-needed relief during menopause: hypnotherapy.
Understanding Menopause:
Before we jump into hypnotherapy, let's briefly mention what menopause entails in terms of the most common symptoms. Hot flashes/flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are reported to be some of the most common symptoms of menopause and often the most debilitating. Throw in some anxiety and mood swings and we can feel like locking the door and hiding from the world. Understanding what is happening and getting some support will help you to manage your symptoms and to feel more in control.
Hypnotherapy: What's It All About?
Hypnotherapy is an incredibly powerful tool which can help you feel less anxious and improve your confidence and general sense of well-being. It has also been scientifically proven to reduce hot flashes and sleep disturbances by up to 74%, showing it to be as effective as HRT in managing these symptoms.
It's a soothing, relaxing experience aimed at tapping into your subconscious to enable you to connect with your body and regain some control over your symptoms. Everyone responds differently to hypnotherapy, but you are always in control. Most people feel a deep state of relaxation but are completely aware of their surroundings.
How Can Hypnotherapy Help?
So, how exactly can hypnotherapy assist during menopause? While it won't magically erase symptoms, it can certainly provide some relief.
Cooling Down Hot Flashes:
Instead of feeling like you're trapped in a sauna, hypnotherapy can help you find some relief. Through relaxation and visualisation, it aims to reduce the intensity and frequency of these episodes.
Navigating Mood Swings:
Hypnotherapy techniques are designed to help you manage these emotional fluctuations when they occur. By instilling a sense of calm and balance, it can smooth out the ups and downs and leave you feeling calmer.
Embracing Restful Sleep:
