Infertility
All Both of You Wanted Was a Baby
Yet something you thought would happen naturally has become a seemingly endless maze of doctors appointments, shots and invasive medical procedures. Everyone has opinions designed to "help you get pregnant" when in reality you're doing everything you can. Therapy addressing your infertility and the resulting emotional "roller coaster" helps you:
- Manage your anxiety surrounding the uncertainty of infertility
- Talk openly and honestly with your partner so you both feel supported and loved
- Understand your reactivity and intensity of emotions
- Avoid the “blame games” that can happen between partners when there is so much outside your control
- Explore the societal/cultural values that may be adding stress to your experience
- Learn to manage expectations in order to better receive the support you need
- Integrate relaxation techniques aimed at managing you physical discomfort and promoting your sense of well being
- Begin grief recovery surrounding miscarriage, both individually and as a couple
