Finding Calm in the Chaos: How Hypnosis Can Help Ease Menopause Symptoms

Yes, it is true—menopause can feel like a rollercoaster that you didn’t buy a ticket for. Hot flashes that strike out of nowhere, sleepless nights, mood swings that leave you (and everyone around you) treading on eggshells, and a foggy brain that makes you wonder if you’ve misplaced your mind along with your keys. If you’re navigating this stage of life and feeling overwhelmed, know this: you’re not alone—and there is support beyond hormone replacement therapy and supplements.

One powerful, often overlooked option?

What is Hypnosis?

Modern hypnotherapy is a legitimate, evidence-based practice used to help people tap into the power of the subconscious mind. It’s not about losing control—it’s about regaining it. In fact, hypnosis has been used effectively for pain management, anxiety, smoking cessation, and yes—even menopause.

How Can Hypnosis Help with Menopause?

Hypnotherapy works by guiding you into a deeply relaxed state where your mind becomes more open to suggestion, healing, and self-awareness. Here’s how it can support menopause symptoms specifically:

1. Hot Flash Relief

Research has shown that hypnosis can significantly reduce both the frequency and intensity of hot flashes. One study from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health found that women who used hypnosis reported up to a 74% reduction in hot flashes. That’s not just mind over matter—that’s real, measurable relief.

2. Better Sleep

Night sweats and anxiety often make restful sleep feel impossible. Hypnotherapy can calm the nervous system, slow racing thoughts, and condition the body for more restorative rest. Imagine waking up feeling rested instead of restless.

3. Emotional Balance

Mood swings are no joke. Hypnosis can help regulate emotional responses, reduce irritability, and promote a more centered state of mind. It doesn’t stop the hormones—but it can help you ride the waves with more grace and less frustration.

4. Boosted Confidence and Self-Compassion

Menopause often coincides with big life changes—empty nests, career shifts, or aging parents. Hypnosis offers space to reconnect with yourself, reframe negative beliefs, and embrace this powerful new chapter with confidence.

What a Hypnotherapy Session Looks Like

A session with Corrine, the founder and hypnotherapist at Millbrook hypnosis is relaxing, safe, and collaborative. You’ll likely sit or lie down comfortably, listen to your therapist’s voice guiding you into a calm, focused state, and work through personalised suggestions based on your needs—whether it’s cooling visualisations for hot flashes, anchoring techniques for emotional stability, or scripts to support sleep.

Most people leave a session feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control—like they’ve hit a reset button.

Ready to Reclaim Your Wellbeing?

Menopause doesn’t have to feel like a battle. Hypnosis offers a gentle, empowering way to soothe your symptoms and reconnect with your inner resilience. Whether you’re just beginning to notice changes or you’re deep in the thick of it, this could be the support tool you didn’t know you needed.

So take a deep breath. There’s peace to be found in the process—and hypnosis might just be the key to unlocking it.
