Therapy for Infertility and Pregnancy Loss
Month after month, maybe year after year…. you're trying. And every month… there it is again. The stain… heralding a new death, another lost opportunity.

If you are experiencing challenges building the family you desire, or are pursuing fertility treatments, we can provide the support you need.
Effect on the Individual - When a woman powerfully desires to have a baby, being unable to conceive can become an incredibly stressful experience for her and her partner. Many negative emotions can emerge such as shame, blame, anger, fear, envy, withdrawal, anxiety and depression. Research shows that infertility is a disease that affects approximately one in eight couples. As time ticks by, friends and family may minimize your sadness or not understand your desire to pursue medical treatment or other means of family-building. They may give you all kinds of 'helpful advice' which leaves you feeling angry, cold and misunderstood. Maybe your partner wants to try harder than you do to conceive, or vice-versa and sometimes you wonder if the relationship is ruined. Effect on the Couple - Dealing with infertility can challenge even the strongest relationship. You used to have so much fun together, now the boudoir is transformed into a laboratory where medical procedures are happening. Negative emotions may lead to distancing and sometimes affairs or break-up. Maybe you and your partner don't exactly agree on different aspects of treatment. Infertility treatments can be a roller coaster for both partners causing them to struggle to be supportive of each other while being overwhelmed by their own pain. We can help, contact us. |
