The infertility journey is hard - but you don’t have to do it alone.
We can face it head-on, as a team.
Therapy for Infertility
Infertility impacts roughly 15% of couples. The road to discovering you are infertile is often painful and isolating. Couples going through infertility can feel a tremendous sense of grief and hopelessness. Individuals dealing with infertility feel like no one understands, and comments from friends and family can be unintentionally hurtful.
In many circles infertility treatments are not accepted or can bring shame or stigma. Fertility treatments can also be a huge financial burden on some couples or individuals. Couples going through infertility treatments often face incredibly difficult decisions that many in their support network simply may not be able to understand.
You may be thinking -
‘I feel like everyone around me has gotten pregnant so easily. No one understands and people can make some really hurtful comments. I feel so alone.’
‘We’re drowning in debt from our fertility treatments. I cried to my husband the other day about being worried we might have to declare bankruptcy.’
‘I don’t understand why I’m doing everything right and my body still can’t get pregnant. I don’t feel like I can trust my body.’
‘I’m starting to feel hopeless because we’ve been through so many cycles. What will happen if we run out of money and options?’
‘I feel like I have no control over how we start a family. I’ve had to take FMLA just to go get tests and have procedures done - people are starting to wonder why we keep going to the doctor.’
Those feelings are normal and valid. People can be well-intentioned, but still not understand. You deserve to have a space of support and emotional guidance to lean on through this process, especially from someone who understands the journey.
I provide a space that’s free of judgment, shame, or blame. It’s important when going through fertility treatments to know that whatever happens in this journey, this journey is YOURS and yours alone. Your feelings are valid and in many cases shared by many others who’ve walked the same path. We can work together to make sure you’re supported with care and compassion in whatever decisions you must face.
