Infertility
The whole process of infertility, of not conceiving, or of having repeated miscarriages and infertility treatments is a very anxious and stressful time.
There is no simple solution. There is no guarantee that any treatment can be effective and it can be hard to come to terms with the feelings of uncertainty and lack of control.
Nearly one in three cases of infertility have causes which are not well understood. In these cases of ‘unexplained’ infertility, the tension in the body and mind of wanting a baby so badly can be highly counter-productive.
Severe stress can affect ovulation, hormone levels, libido and male sperm count. One of the great strengths of hypnotherapy is stress reduction.
Maintaining a healthy diet, not smoking or drinking too much alcohol or caffeine are also all known to help with fertility and may all be helped by hypnotherapy.
I cannot claim that hypnotherapy will definitely help you to conceive but I can say that I have worked with a few women who have conceived following the very deep relaxation of hypnotherapy treatment. Whether or not there is a direct connection I have no way of being sure.
There is however, no doubt that hypnotherapy treatments do help most people to feel much easier in themselves and more able to cope with the inevitable pressures.
