Our story…

Jefferson Headache Center Psychology Team

Therapy can help you manage migraine-related stress. Here are some expert tips for finding the right therapist for you and how to talk to your therapist about migraine.

In addition to following the treatment plan you’ve set up with your medical doctor, managing migraine also often involves focusing on healthy lifestyle choices, such as getting enough sleep, exercising and reducing stress. With 50-70% of people reporting a significant link between their daily stress levels and migraine symptoms, stress management is particularly important. Migraine attacks themselves are disruptive and stressful to manage, and that increased stress can impact your physical and mental health in other ways.

Dealing with stress is one of several reasons people with migraine may consider therapy. Other reasons include learning effective ways to communicate your migraine-related health needs to your loved ones or employer. Some people may also consider therapy to help manage anxiety or depression and want to make sure they find a therapist who understands what it’s like living with migraine.
