Menopause

Coping with Menopause and Menopausal Symptoms through Hypnotherapy

The roots of the word “menopause” can be linked as far back to the ancient Greeks; “men”, meaning month, which is related to the word moon and “pauein” meaning to cease or stop.  The time when a woman’s monthly (Lunar) cycle ends.  Life spans were much shorter then and so there is little information about menopausal women.  Fast forward to today and finally… at last, conversations surrounding menopause are now taking place after hitting the mainstream.  The tide has now turned, and we are talking and discussing our experiences surrounding women who reach middle age and know a lot more about what is happening to our hormones and bodies as we embark on the next chapter of our lives.  There is now greater transparency and support for women out there experiencing menopause.

Although menopause is a completely natural process, the times when it takes place varies from woman to woman.  It can also be triggered early through illness such as cancer or through surgical procedures such as a hysterectomy.  Every woman’s experience of menopause is different, some having a harder time than others dealing with a range of symptoms ranging from mild to severe.  Fluctuating and falling hormone levels of oestrogen and progesterone slow down to the point where our periods eventually stop.  Unfortunately, these hormones can take several years to drop low enough to stop our periods for good.  During this time many women suffer and end up dealing with an array of physical and mental health issues.
