People may have issues within their various relationships. These often stem from a compromised sense…
Infertility places enormous psychological strain on men and women. Being unable to conceive after a year or more of trying is stressful enough.
But the pressure, risk and unpredictable chances of success associated with infertility treatments impose their own mental and physical pressures, discomfort and pain. Depression, a sense of being defeated and even self-loathing can accompany infertility, and the resulting emotional trauma can put a strain on relationships.
Soon-to-be parents who have suffered one or more miscarriage often require help. Grieving parents may feel that their sorrow should be hidden due to an apparent lack of social empathy, and often bury the loss of a child and their dashed hopes in an inaccessible but painful place.
Therapy can help people handle their grief, anxiety and other underlying emotions. Feelings of guilt and anger can be worked through and any blame brought into the open. Treatment can help explore the financial ramifications as well as provide emotional healing. Couples often choose to handle their infertility concerns together. Family therapy can also be a great help.
