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.
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.

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