Has an infertility diagnosis or journey made you angry or completely stressed-out? Has it robbed you of your self-esteem? Are you just beginning the journey or frustrated with all you have already been through? Do you ever feel confused, out of control, desparate? Lonely, scared, depressed?
It is important to know that you are not alone. Approximately 10% of the population is affected by issues of infertility. Fertility issues affect people from all racial, ethnic and religious groups and from all socioeconomic levels. Yet, infertility is still very misunderstood by many. It is often seen as a very personal matter and is not generally discussed out in the open. This adds to the feelings of lonliness and isolation that often accompany an infertility diagnosis.
Beyond the medical and technological aspects of infertility are the many hidden emotions and feelings of loss that accompany it. Infertility affects home and work life, finances, friendships and personal relationships.
Traveling down the infertility/family building road alone can take a major toll on couples. Infertility clinics focus mostly on the medical options available. While they may offer some counseling services they generally don't offer significant emotional support, as that is not their focus. Infertility coaching, on the other hand, offers the support you need to work through the many options that present themselves along the road.
Working with New Perspectives coaching will provide you, and your partner, with concrete tools and techniques which will help you work through the mental anguish that going through infertility can cause.
