“It was great to finally have a place to go to vent as well as get support and understanding from others that are dealing with the pain of infertility. I felt as if a huge load had been lifted off my shoulders and am ready to try some new coping skills to help me through our situation. I was a little nervous before going to our first meeting but Lynn does such a fantastic job with putting people at ease--my husband and I are both looking forward to the next meeting.”

Exploring Series: Strengthening Your Relationship

Women and men often react to the stress of infertility with different coping styles that can cause couples to feel on opposing sides.  Feeling inadequate or lonely, misunderstood, or not sure of how to give and receive support is not uncommon.  Yet these very strains in the relationship can provide great opportunities for growth.  Understand why relationships are impacted by fertility challenges and how difficult dynamics and issues can be transformative and strengthening.

  • Apply Mind-Body tools to reduce distress and start from a place of calm
  • Learn active listening
  • Improve communication
  • Develop problem-solving techniques
  • Compliment your different coping styles
  • Restore balance to your relationship and within yourself
  • Reclaim intimacy and revitalize connection
