Menopause and Anxiety

Menopause can bring about many changes, and anxiety is one of the most common challenges women face during this time.

It's important to understand that menopause anxiety often goes unrecognised or misdiagnosed, which can make it feel even more overwhelming. This anxiety can show up in different ways, from mild restlessness to full-blown panic attacks, and may include health worries, imposter syndrome, insomnia, or social anxiety. For many women, the anxiety seems to come out of nowhere, especially if they’ve never had these issues before.

One of the key reasons menopause can trigger anxiety is hormonal changes. Lower oestrogen levels can affect brain function, leading to mood swings, irritability, and even a drop in happy chemicals like serotonin and endorphins. Progesterone, which helps promote calm and restful sleep, also declines during perimenopause, making it harder to manage stress.

The good news is that there are ways to support your body and mind through this transition, and hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool. By helping you relax deeply, hypnotherapy can restore balance, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep. It can help you manage emotions, shift negative thought patterns, and enhance your overall well-being.

Hypnotherapy offers a safe, supportive approach to reclaim your sense of calm and control during menopause.
