HypnoMenopause® FAQ

The first step on your HypnoMenopause® journey will be an informal 20-minute free telephone consultation where you can give me an insight of the problem(s) and/or symptoms you are experiencing so I can establish how I can be of help to you and if HypnoMenopause® would be a suitable programme. The next step would be an initial consultation where we will discuss your problems and symptoms in more detail and what you are looking for from our sessions together and ask me any questions you might have. Thereafter, the HypnoMenopause® programme typically consist of 5 sessions (number of sessions can be less or more depending on your personal needs) which combines, hypnosis, mindfulness, meditation, relaxation, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) to help women manage their experience in a completely natural way. I will help you set goals for the future and support you whilst you take any practical steps, from creating a better sleep routine to increasing your exercise levels, which will help you create the changes you desire. When it comes to hypnotherapy, I will talk you into a focused, absorbed state and then offer you positive suggestions, guide meditations and encourage you to imagine yourself in particular situations, all of which have the capacity to powerfully create transformation at an unconscious level.

Hypnosis is a completely natural experience which is individual for everyone. It’s similar to feeling completely absorbed or focused. – a bit like the experience of daydreaming, reading a book or being absorbed in a move. If you’ve used to meditating or doing yoga, you’ll have experienced a similar state of mind. Some people go deeper into state of hypnosis than others and hypnotherapy can be effective for everyone. HypnoMenopause is a multi-faceted therapeutic approach which draws on Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and is designed to help in a variety of ways. If you’ve motivated to create positive change, HypnoMenopause can prove highly effective, no matter what level of hypnosis you achieve.

Whatever menopausal symptoms you are experiencing, hypnotherapy has the capacity to help. Research shows that hypnotherapy can help reduce hot flushes and night sweats by up to 74% and can help improve sleep, mood, and general wellbeing1. Although we often think of our minds and bodies as being separate, in fact, they’re constantly communicating with each other. An example of this would be feeling scared and experiencing a rush of adrenalin which causes our heart rates to rise and our faces to redden. How you think about, and respond to, your menopausal experience shapes that experience and hypnotherapy provides a powerful way to explore, and change, our thoughts and emotions. HypnoMenopause® encourages a deeper connection between the mind and body which encourages a sense of healing and recovery and can help improve your physical experience. Hypnotherapy is also a wonderfully relaxing experience which can help manage stress and anxiety – two issues which many women face during menopause.
