The application of Sports Psychology Tools and Techniques to empower women as they deal with adjusting to hormonal fluctuations through menopause’s challenges, making it easier for them to defeat passivity with its health and addictive dangers. He draws on clinical work done over the last thirty years working with patients facing medical challenges and Athletes facing potentially game ending injuries.
The Primal Brain perceives all hormonal fluctuations as a threat to survival, and coming at any treatment plan from this angle gives the patient an empowering understanding of the internal conflicts they feel as body battles Primal Brain within.
The message has been, “Empower yourself through this time” – don’t just roll over and relax into sugar, alcohol, drug taking, anxiety or depression. You can “do something here”! Active not passive! Using the well proven Sports Psychology tricks/tools we can “manage” our Primal Brain and give the message of power-control-strength-relaxation to empower/enhance.
I am going to suggest here today a way of using the Cognitive Behavioural technique in a manner that has proved to get great results with people facing the challenges of hormonal fluctuation on mind-body.
