Learn critical emotional support strategies and self-discovery tools that validate couples hopes and fears that you can apply to empower clients struggling to conceive.

This one day class will take participants through the 3 chapters and 9 transitions that emerged in this multi-year study of couples who unexpectedly overcome infertility. Practitioners will learn the statistical importance of these 9 transitions and how they come to impact a client's sense of self, ability to cope, and willingness to stay engaged and connected life. We will teach practitioners how they can apply these transitions to bring emotional support and self-discovery for their clients who are either in treatment, considering treatment or those looking for alternative approaches to conception. Upon completion practitioners will be able to stage clients across these 3 chapters and 9 transitions, apply strategies that help them to validate critical emotions and provide techniques to reframe common but powerful distortions in thinking that can impact a client's emotional health and well-being.

Objectives

  • Understand the 9 key transitions that couples experienced from early “delays” in conceiving, to being in the throes of the struggle, to an unexpected conception
  • Learn the role that societal expectations and pressures have on a couple's identity and sense of self as they experience “month the month” disappointments
  • Expose the impact of “becoming a patient” and the compliant behavior that accompanies the infertility “label”
  • Examine the moments of transition and triggers that lead to acceptance of one's situation, allowing couples to reach back into life, achieving a level of awareness and renewal that dramatically alters their journey to parenthood and beyond
