A
woman’s fertility is dependent upon
a healthy regular menstrual cycle.
Problems with conceiving may
indicate a need to address menstrual
health. It is well know that changes
in lifestyle and diet can
significantly improve the normal
functioning of the menstrual cycle.
Research in mind-body medicine
indicates that psychological and
emotional stressors play a key role
in hormonal balance, and can have a
direct bearing on menstrual health.
This workshop offers a
psychotherapeutic approach to
menstrual health and teaches
essential skills for working with
infertility and related problems. Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is a
cluster of symptoms, comprising of
physical and emotional changes that
are associated with the second part
of the menstrual cycle.
According to some reports, 70 to 90%
of women have recurrent menstrual
problems. Many experience irregular
periods and/or severely aggravated
premenstrual symptoms. For some this
can be so severe that it drastically
affects their lives.
In order to fully understand
these symptoms one needs to become
aware of the physiological and
emotional changes that occur during
the cycle. Patients presenting with
PMS require holistic treatment,
which includes working with
unresolved emotional issue – since
these are known to disrupt menstrual
rhythm and normal hormonal balance.
It is also known that the process of
resolving emotional and
psychological stress results in
biochemical changes in the body.
Hypnotherapy can be effectively used
to ascertain the underlying causes
as well as to relieve stress and
other emotional disturbances. Many
women also need to begin to
understand the benefits of
menstruation and the invaluable
resources that it offers.
