Counseling for Fertility Challenges & Reproductive Trauma in Dublin, CA
Therapy for (In)fertility in Dublin, CA
You’ve always wanted to be a mom - it’s a dream you’ve held as long as you remember. But this is not the journey to parenthood you imagined.
The never ending cycle of hope and disappointment, the waiting, the tears, the appointments, the decisions, the uncertainty, the losses… it’s all so overwhelming.
You initially faced fertility challenges with some resolve, but find that as time has gone on you’ve been worn down. Anxiety has crept in and those coping skills that used to work well don’t seem to be quite as effective. You can’t control the trying to conceive journey nor your feelings about it. You’ve thought about therapy, but honestly it’s just one more appointment to manage.
(In)fertility is one of the first areas of your life where you can’t just achieve your way through, one to-do list at a time.
It seems like the losses keep coming – pregnancy loss, loss of control, loss of time, loss of money, loss of trust in your body, loss of your worldview, loss of innocence, loss of connection to others. You find yourself pushing forward and trying to manage the stress, but when you’re honest with yourself you feel pretty lost, depressed and anxious. This deep longing to become a mom has remained, but despair clouds your hope.
