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!
