Beyond CBT, Hertford Videos

We know that our mindset shapes every facet of our lives... our expectations have a direct impact on every experience we have. And going through the Menopause is no exception! The hormonal changes related to menopause produce similar symptoms in many women, however the cultural differences, beliefs and expectations can still shape how people experience this stage of life. According to lead study author, Dr. Mary Jane Minkin, a professor in obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive health at Yale Medical School “In societies where age is more revered and the older woman is the wiser and better woman, menopausal symptoms are significantly less bothersome. Where older is not better, many women equate menopause with old age, and symptoms can be much more devastating.” Do you know that in some countries including China, the Menopause is called the "Second Spring" and is viewed as a positive stage of life. Perhaps the generally held view in the West, that menopause is a time to dread is actually making our menopause experiences more difficult.... CBT can help us reframe our situation, challenging and changing our beliefs, which in turn can lead to more positive experiences and outcomes. I'm Claire Crispin and I'm an accredited CBT therapist.
