If there is one issue that comes up time and again with clients facing Infertility , it is how do we steer that course between remaining positive and yet realistic , optomistic and yet emotionally protective .
The metaphor of a see saw is often used as one day we can feel elated the next depressed and hopeless . Or more likely , one day can include all of the above and so much more .
I wish I had the magic formula to make it all easier , and know all too well the difficulties of waiting and hoping and praying ..for that family .
However perhaps one of the most important starting points in at least helping yourself is to acknowledge that the see saw effect is both normal and human .
I have yet to meet a client that sailed through the emotional impact of Infertility , because it is impossible .
Rather then to work on being kind to yourself and admit that these feelings are normal , and should be listened to .
When you are feeling sad be kind to yourself , when angry find a safe way to get it out and remember you are never alone .Importantly too When hopeful , dont push those feelings aside but rather enjoy them , they are a part of the experience and a legitimate part too .
So many feelings can be experienced by a person going through such a huge life crisis as Infertility . You are normal , get and ask for the help and support you deserve , then put one foot in front of the other and keep going .
All best wishes Anya
