Importantly, MC follows a recurring pattern of inflammatory activity. Emotional states, mood, cognitive functioning and sleep patterns fluctuate across the MC, affecting overall functioning and well\u2010being. Additionally, hormonal shifts across the cycle are linked to the exacerbation of psychiatric symptoms, particularly in premenopausal women who exhibit heightened sensitivity to normal changes in sex steroid levels. However, MC\u2010related hormonal fluctuations and inflammatory processes are rarely considered in psychotherapeutic settings. This exploratory mixed\u2010methods study examined how MC\u2010related fluctuations influence clients' psychotherapy experiences. In an online survey setting, a total of\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009425 female clients completed the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire\u20108 (CSQ\u20108) and the WHO Well\u2010Being Index (WHO\u20105), alongside qualitative questions on symptom and therapy experiences. Most participants received cognitive\u2010behavioural (35.5%), psychodynamic (14.4%), systemic (9.4%) or humanistic (6.8%) therapy, while 33.9% were unsure of their therapy orientation, mostly in outpatient settings. Quantitative findings revealed reduced therapy satisfaction during premenstrual and perimenstrual phases compared with other phases. Qualitative data highlighted symptom exacerbation during these phases, negatively affecting emotional states, therapeutic participation, cognitive functioning and perceptions of therapy's necessity and effectiveness. Participants reported that the open discussion of the MC in therapy improved treatment outcomes. They advocated for individualized consideration of MC\u2010related factors in therapy planning. These findings underscore the need for more personalized clinical approaches that integrate MC\u2010related dynamics into psychotherapy to optimize treatment outcomes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.70237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,11]],"date-time":"2026-02-11T06:50:51Z","timestamp":1770792651000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Menstrual Cycle Dynamics and Their Impact on Psychotherapy: Insights From a Mixed\u2010Methods Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"Marie","family":"Anderlik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Psychology II, Department of Psychology University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Tyrol Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jasmina","family":"Eifert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Psychology II, Department of Psychology University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Tyrol Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9669-5561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Manuela","family":"Gander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Psychology II, Department of Psychology University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Tyrol Austria"},{"name":"Department of Child and Adolescent Psychology Medical University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Tyrol Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Buchheim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Psychology II, Department of Psychology University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Tyrol Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5822-0108","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexander","family":"Karabatsiakis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinical Psychology II, Department of Psychology University of Innsbruck  Innsbruck Tyrol Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.books.9780890425596"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/21674086.1937.11925326"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.yfrne.2024.101160"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-193910000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006842-193904000-00002"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bbr.2021.113593"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0145\u20102134(02)00541\u20100"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/JNE.12553"},{"key":"e_1_2_13_10_1","first-page":"673","volume-title":"Handbook of Psychotherapy and Behavior Change","author":"Cohen Z.
