The Menopause

The menopause is a transition that all women who reach a certain age must endure. It is a time when women experiencing this transition, often colloquially referred to as "the change", also experience a number of other uncomfortable and sometimes painful symptoms – including:
• Hot flushes
• Night sweats
• Mood swings
• Sleep disturbance
• Vaginal discomfort
• Urinary infections
• Weight gain
• Headaches
• Vertigo
• Dry skin
• Myalgia
• Joint pain

How hypnotherapy can help you through the menopause
The average age for the onset of the menopause is 51-52 in the UK, but it can begin in the 40s. The menopause is caused by falling oestrogen levels that in turn cause ovulation to end. About 10 per cent of women turn to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to ease or offset the symptoms of the menopause, but there is an increase in the number of women looking to alternative therapies to help them through their "change". Hypnotherapy is one of these areas, and it also works well alongside HRT.

Hypnotherapy is beneficial to your health during the menopause as it focuses on the link between the mind and body in dealing with this transition. It works on both a conscious and subconscious level to alleviate the symptoms of the menopause – in a relaxed state you will learn how to use the power of your mind's coping mechanism to make your symptoms more bearable. By using positive suggestion hypnotherapy also has the power to change your perception of your "change", giving you a more positive, healthier attitude.

At the Bridge Clinic we will focus on the issues and symptoms that are affecting you, and because this approach and treatment is tailored to your specific case and is not a 'cure-for-all', it has a much greater chance of success.
