Episode notes
Therapists don’t need to be menopause experts to support clients through perimenopause. In this episode, we explore the transition as a biopsychosocial life stage, its impact on identity, relationships, and mental health, and how therapists can respond with curiosity and awareness. We highlight approaches like CBT, ACT, and narrative therapy, while reframing perimenopause as a developmental transition involving disruption, reconstruction, and growth.
