Struggling with hot flashes, mood swings, anxiety and other perimenopausal symptoms?
Medications are NOT the only answer! Cognitive behavioral therapy can bring significant relief.
Join Jennifer Reid, MD as she interviews Sheryl Green, PhD, C.Psych, a health psychologist and the author of the Cognitive Behavioral Workbook for Menopause.
We discuss:
1) Why Dr. Green and her coauthors believe CBT can bring relief in perimenopause
2) Strategies for targeting distressing hot flashes and other physical symptoms
3) The elevated risk of depression and anxiety in the menopausal transition
4) Why Dr. Green thinks women should embrace this transition and look forward to the future.
