Why has my desire dropped since menopause?

62 questions·10 min·4 dimensions and a separate readiness-to-change module·up to 14 clinical frameworks·6 report sections

Reviewed by Gildas Garrec, CBT practitioner

Good morning,

This test tells apart four things that get run together too fast: what arises from you for no particular reason, what the body's energy and comfort allow, mental availability in the moment, and what a situation manages to awaken. The report shows which of these four supports has moved since menopause.

What you receive — a report written from your answers: what stands out, what sustains it, and where to start. This week, this month, later on.

How it is built — each axis is analyzed on its own, then cross-read with the others, through clinical reading frameworks. Your detailed answers are attached as an appendix. See an example report

The test runs over 62 questions and takes about 10 min, for a price of $3.60.

We'd also suggest reading the book The Practical CBT Guide, to take this reflection further. It's included in the price and downloadable.

If you have a question about your report, write to us at contact@psychologieetserenite.com: a psychotherapist will reply within 48 hours.

QUICK ANSWER

Why has my desire dropped since menopause? — a 62-question self-assessment, about 10 min. This test untangles causes that get confused: spontaneous desire, the body's energy, mental availability and what a situation manages to awaken. Once finished, you receive a detailed PDF report ($3.60): an interpretation of its 4 dimensions, a radar chart, up to 14 clinical reading frameworks and a personalized action plan. It is designed to help you know yourself better.

This test separates what moves at once at menopause and ends up attributed to a single cause: I have no desire any more. Spontaneous desire, the kind that surfaces unprompted, often diminishes first and is the most noticed. The state of the body — fatigue, sleep, discomfort — weighs independently. So does mental availability: a full head leaves little room. Then there is responsive desire, which arises in answer to a gesture or a moment, and which is worth exactly as much as the first. The report names the support that has given way.
