Description
Description: This workshop offers an in-depth, compassionate look at the emotional and physiological turmoil of infertility and how mind-body approaches can help people regain a sense of control. Through stories, clinical guidance and practical skills, participants learn how stress, medical interventions and relationship strain shape the fertility journey, and how hypnosis, relaxation, imagery and ritual can soften fear, restore agency and support treatment. The session provides concrete tools for helping clients navigate decisions, cope with setbacks and find meaning and resilience in the midst of uncertainty
Syllabus Description: Infertility is devastating. Few have coping skills adequate enough to manage the intense physical and emotional demands of the experience, which can drag on without resolution for a long time. A didactic introduction will sensitize registrants to the gestalt of infertility. Effective treatment options with emphasis on letting-go techniques will be shared didactically and experientially.
Educational Objectives:
- Prepare to effectively serve infertility patients in a way that matches their needs.
- Select appropriate treatment options for each infertility patient who comes into their practice
