Unsilencing the Menopause in Psychotherapy

Unsilencing the Menopause in Psychotherapy, an online international psychotherapy training event, in which Jane Catherine will present as a panel member with Margaret Altemus, Sarah Benamer, Letticia Banton and Yansie Rolston.

24th Feb, 1.30pm – 6pm (GMT), or 2.30am – 7am NZ time.  NB, a recording will be available

Mirroring society, the menopause is an area of women’s lives that has been overlooked by psychotherapy, in theory, research and practice. This live webinar will address why a legacy of misogyny prevails in silencing discourse about the menopause and how as psychotherapists we need to confront this by focusing on it as an area of training, so we can better empower our clients to navigate this fundamental life-transition.

As the menopause is a bio-psycho-social-spiritual phenomenon we have designed the programme to offer multidisciplinary perspectives to enrich your understanding of what the menopause can mean for women. The speakers will offer their expertise from medicine and psychiatry, psychoanalysis, intercultural therapy  with a focus on the black experience, and humanistic psycho-spirituality, and the neglected arena of affirming lived female embodiment. They will also offer personal, case insights and suggestions of how to work with the menopause in practice. There will be plenty of time for questions and we will close the webinar with a panel discussion which will enable some integration of the new learnings throughout the day.

Please note the content will primarily be about women’s experience but we acknowledge not all women experience menopause and not all people who experience  menopause identify as women. We intend this to be an inclusive event  that recognises subjectivity. We welcome therapists of all genders to join us to learn about how the menopause impacts people of all genders in a variety of ways.
