Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured therapy that helps change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors.
How cognitive behavioral therapy works
Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches coping skills to manage anxiety, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. A trained therapist can help you reframe perceptions about your menopause or life challenges and challenge you to change negative behavior patterns.
