Can EMDR help menopause?

Mental health doctor and EMDR therapist Dr Caroline Lloyd explores how Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy can support women through menopause - both by resolving the underlying trauma that can resurface as oestrogen declines and by easing the distress, anxiety and self-consciousness that often accompany symptoms like sleep disruption and hot flushes.

What you will learn

• How declining oestrogen can unmask unresolved trauma that EMDR Therapy helps resolve
• Why middle-of-the-night anxiety and rumination may ease with simple EMDR techniques
• How EMDR Therapy can soften the distress and self-consciousness around hot flushes
• Why menopause often coincides with broader midlife identity shifts
• How resolving past trauma can build resilience for navigating midlife transitions
