The Role of Therapy Throughout Your Fertility Journey

Physical Fertility challenges are frequently articulated in clinical or medical terminology—hormones, cycles, treatments, and test outcomes. But not many people talk about how fertility problems can have a big effect on mental health. During this time, it's normal to feel sad, guilty, ashamed, anxious or even depressed. A lot of people also have problems with their relationships, sex life, feeling alone, and losing their sense of who they are or their self-worth.

This is where, fertility therapy Ontario services come in handy.

The Role of Therapy Throughout Your Fertility Journey

One of the best things about fertility therapy in Ontario is that it helps with every step of the journey, not just during treatment. Therapy can help people who are just starting to try to deal with their anxiety and set realistic goals. For people or couples who have been told they are infertile, it gives them tools to help them deal with their feelings and make decisions. Therapy is also very helpful for people who are thinking about other options like egg or sperm donation, surrogacy or adoption.

Therapy can also help couples who think their relationship is in trouble. Fertility struggles often take a toll on communication, intimacy, and emotional connection.  A skilled therapist helps couples reconnect, share their individual experiences and make joint decisions in a healthier, more supportive way.
