'I sped from sceptic to full fangirl'
Mariella Frostrup, author of Cracking the Menopause


Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an effective alternative for women who are looking for non-medical approaches for challenging menopause symptoms, and for those who do not want or are unable to use hormone therapy. Written in an accessible and interactive style, with case examples and quotes, this guide will empower you to confidently take control of your menopause whether it is early, 'on time' or a consequence of surgery or breast cancer treatment.

It covers:
- Understanding the range of factors that might influence your experience
- Preparing for the menopause - no need to expect the worst!
- Making sense of the links between symptoms, thoughts, feelings and coping behaviours
- Implementing your key goals for this important stage of your life
- Enhancing your self-esteem through behaviour change and a compassionate mindset
- Helping partners and loved ones to support you


Living Well Through the Menopause is based on a wealth of psychological research, including trials of the MENOS CBT intervention with over 1000 women, that has demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach for treating hot flushes, night sweats, low mood, insomnia and their impact on daily life.
