Infertility & Reproductive Trauma
One in six couples will struggle to grow their family. Signs of infertility trauma include:
miscarriage
grief
loss
depression
anxiety
resentment
trouble sleeping
low self-esteem
isolation
relationship issues
Infertility is not your fault. As a trauma informed therapist who has walked through the devastating valley of infertility trauma, I understand fully. Research has shown that men and women who experience infertility have psychological symptoms that reflect similarly to what cancer patients go through. It’s a never ending cycle of what ifs and grieving an ideal we haven’t even lost yet. Infertility trauma reflects the same symptoms of complex trauma: an experience that is constantly happening over and over again. My mission is to bridge the gap between the stigma that miscarriage, infant loss, and infertility are real world issues and demands recognition.
