Show Notes
In today’s Behind the Sessions episode, we focus on the pain and grief that people experience in the infertility and loss journey while trying to become a parent or add another child to their family. While it’s impossible to cover every aspect of this topic in one episode, I want to take a closer look and assure anyone in this situation that they are not alone. Join me for more!
Show Highlights:
- Grief can take many forms, including anger, resentment, and jealousy.
- The emotional toll (from hormones, the waiting process, etc.) of infertility treatments
- The layers of complications that come with various reproductive technologies
- Feeling “partner pressure” is a very real thing, even if it’s self-imposed.
- The importance of setting and keeping boundaries with other people
- The person struggling with infertility needs compassion, support, and a listening ear.
- A good therapist and support network can help!
