This book sets out an interactive four-week programme using cognitive behavioural therapy, with exercises and worksheets designed to enable women to develop strategies for managing menopausal symptoms.

Understand the biological as well as the psychological and cultural influences on menopause
Understand and manage hot flushes in social situations
Learn to modify triggers and use paced breathing to reduce the impact of hot flushes
Reduce stress and improve well-being
Develop strategies to help if night sweats disturb your sleep
With a companion audio exercise and downloadable resources available online, Managing Hot Flushes and Night Sweats offers a complete and effective framework to approach menopause with confidence and to manage symptoms without the use of medication.
