Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy for Fertility

Infertility is a condition where you can’t get pregnant after one year of trying to conceive. 

For those couples experiencing complications in naturally conceiving a child of their own, the mental, emotional and relational affects can be devastating. 

Research has shown the emotional and psychological importance of fertility. Women trying to conceive are often not aware of any fertility problems they may have, until they are actively trying to fall pregnant. The reality of this can be overwhelming, bringing about a range of emotions and responses from anger, shock, shame, blame, anxiety, despair or grief.  Men experience similar emotions to women, especially in the case where a low sperm count, poor quality sperm or blockage is the cause for infertility.  

In cases where fertility testing cannot find a medical explanation as to why a couple is unable to conceive, underlying contributors such as psychological blockages (eg:  beliefs that we may have about ourselves, about pregnancy, about being a parent, fear of painful childbirth etc.), or psychological states such as chronic stress, anxiety or depression could be the cause.

Research shows that Hypnotherapy is a highly effective complementary treatment for fertility when used in conjunction with specialised fertility practices incl. medicinal, surgical or ART (assisted reproductive technologies) to improve the chances of conception. 

Hypnotherapy reinforces the mind-body connection. It enhances and strengthens the mental and emotional aspects of fertility, reduces stress and anxiety, assists in overcoming psychological blockages and helps the body to relax. 

These benefits positively assist towards a greater success rate in Fertility treatment procedures and ultimately a greater chance of conception.
