Autoimmune, chronic & Medical Trauma, including fertility
Medical struggles are extremely difficult. It can often create the experience of feeling betrayed by your own body.
I work with women who have been struggling with their bodies in different ways. I don't like the word "infertility" - so I don't use that word often. Fertility is not something that is static- it's not like you have it or you don't, even though doctors can sometimes make it feel that way. Oftentimes there is overlap here with women who have experienced chronic health conditions or autoimmune disorders.
These health and fertility struggles may be something you're facing alone. You may be facing them with a partner. You may have a partner and still FEEL alone in it. Whatever the case, the trauma of the medical system doesn't have to be a hindrance on your journey.
Using EMDR intensives does not magically make your health status change. But what it can do is help to open up your mind to feelings of hope once more. It can help to release the old thoughts and memories that you don't need at the forefront every time you have a doctor's appointment.
The body and the mind are deeply connected.
I want you to be able to heal.
I want you to have choices again.
It takes some deep work, but you can get there.
If you want to experience an EMDR Intensive to begin or continue this journey, please reach out.
