Clients come to me because of the ongoing mental turmoil they are experiencing as a result of trying to conceive. The client and their partner are negatively impacted by fertility issues and these issues begin to create dents in the relationship. Read below to identify the top five reasons for the distancing between couples and what you can do to get help today.
1. Fear
You have fear of hurting your partner because your thoughts do not align with that of your partner’s. One person may be more optimistic than the other and may find it difficult to share their thoughts of hopelessness about the future.
2. Guilt
You feel guilty for being the cause of yours and your partner’s inability to get pregnant. This may or may not be true, but regardless it is getting in the way of speaking to your partner.
3. Shame
You feel shame to speak to anyone about this especially when your family or friends have conceived naturally and you feel you will be judged because of your need to seek fertility treatments.
4. Preexisting Communication Issues
You have learned that it is easy to express your happy and joyful feelings with your partner, but it is difficult to express your feelings of anger, sadness and hopelessness.
5. Lack of A Support System
You do not know who to turn to for information and assistance. You feel alone.
I want you to know that you are not alone and this doesn’t have to be you. There are groups for couples experiencing fertility issues. There are counselors and therapists that can help couples during this stage in your life.
If you feel that this is what you and your partner are currently experiencing, call me today for a free consultation and we can help you get the help you need to stay peaceful and connected during this process.
