Living Well Through the Menopause: An evidence-based cognitive behavioural guide
This book empowers women to navigate menopause with confidence and effective coping skills using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). This book covers:
- Understanding the bio-psycho-social factors influencing menopause experience.
- Preparing for menopause without fear.
- Interactive questions and tasks linking menopause symptoms, thoughts, feelings, and coping behaviors.
- Implementing key goals, whether early, ‘on time,’ due to surgery or breast cancer treatment.
- Enhancing self-esteem through behavior change and a compassionate mindset.
- Supporting partners and loved ones during menopause.
Based on psychological research, including randomized controlled trials with over 1000 women, this approach has demonstrated effectiveness in managing hot flashes, night sweats, low mood, insomnia, and their impact on daily life.
