Pat has a special interest in the psychosocial aspect of Fertility Issues. She works with clients to help decrease stress, resolve emotional issues associated with fertility and medical fertility treatments, and set the stage for a successful conception. Fertility Therapy is a series of individual therapy sessions working with a woman and her partner to learn how to enhance fertility and conception. This is an opportunity to learn relaxation techniques, and explore the issues that sometimes prevent pregnancy, and increase the woman’s chances of the pregnancy she desires.
Therapy sessions are tailored for each client, based on the individual needs of the families. The initial interview helps to identify areas that can be changed, and a care plan is established based on identified factors. Hypnosis techniques empower women to feel confident, successful and hopeful. Three factors contribute to this success: a willingness to be hypnotized, a desire to discuss and understand the process, and the ability to follow simple instructions.
A very real concern for many people is the inability to conceive a baby. Each year, more than a million North Americans pursue treatment for “infertility.” Most consult conventional doctors–an infertility workup is conducted–and depending on diagnosis–drugs or high-tech procedures such as IVF are recommended. Great strides have been made recently in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART).
Learning techniques of relaxation and self-awareness provide families with insights about their unique situations, and frequently different levels of healing take place. Hypnotherapy can reduce stress, increase confidence, instill a sense of control and hope, which in turn will enable you to maximize your chances of conceiving naturally and/or increase the success of medical assistance.
Worry= Negative self-hypnosis: The negative self-talk you allow in your mind about the challenges you may be experience, repetitive patterns and/or other difficulties can cause great stress and anxiety. When you become so worried that you allow a negative inner mind state to take over, you begin to realize the self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.
Hypnotherapy = Positive Change: Hypnotherapy transforms the fear and frustration you are feeling, providing you with tools that enable you to achieve the relaxation and confidence necessary for a calm, peaceful, positive and viable pregnancy.
