How it works

CBT addresses the cognitive and behavioural factors that amplify hot flush distress. Reduces anxiety about symptoms, improves coping strategies and sleep quality.

Requires access to a trained therapist or a validated self-help programme. Most effective for psychological symptoms and distress rather than physical flush frequency.

Why strong evidence

Multiple high-quality RCTs show CBT significantly reduces hot flush problem rating and improves quality of life. NICE recommends CBT as a non-hormonal option.

Noticeably less frequent issues after about a month of consistent use. Worth sticking with.

Good results overall. Had to adjust the approach slightly but found what worked for me. Would recommend trying it.

Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.
