A diagnosis of infertility is truly heartbreaking.
After the initial shock and devastation, intense emotions may arise that alternate between rage, grief, jealousy, and denial. These emotions can be quite overwhelming, and it’s often difficult to get the support one needs from family and friends.
Regardless of the diagnosis, infertility is an unpredictable life crisis.
Infertility counseling can help sort out some of the concerns that arise during this period, and assist in making sense of the more complex emotional issues that may arise. It also provides a place to safely share all of your anxieties, fears, and thoughts without being judged.
Coping with infertility is hard, and needing help is 100% normal.
Infertility is often ranked as one of the most distressing life crises for women and couples experiencing it.

A certified therapist can teach you coping skills and strategies to hopefully alleviate some of the emotional stress you are dealing with. You don’t have to do it alone. Talk to Chana today.
