The Menopause Transition
Copyright :
Like most topics having to do with the more painful aspects of women’s reproductive health – periods, miscarriages, infertility – menopause has been taboo, long-surrounded by stigma and shame.
And despite related mood disturbances and body dissatisfaction, menopause often doesn’t come up in therapy – even when it should be taken into account in the treatment plan.
In this session, Signe Darpinian, LMFT, CEDS – author of A Women’s Guide to Menopause, Body Image, and Emotional Well-being at Midlife – will show you what you need to know about menopause and top interventions for common stressors. You’ll learn:
- Practical, easy-to-implement menopause mood management strategies
- How to help clients move through menopause body grief to a better relationship with self and food
- Tools to help clients understand their experience so they can advocate for their well-being
