Are you one of the 1 in 6 couples that are struggling to conceive? Or do you know a friend or relative who is? In the UK approximately 3.5 million people are affected by infertility and it is the most common reason that women aged 20-45 years old visit their doctor. Did you know that many couples are turning to hypnotherapy as it can improve the overall functioning of the mind and the body and is proven to aid fertility. It helps reduce stress and anxiety, encourages relaxation, builds confidence and deals with emotional blocks. Stress may actually play a role in up to 30% of all infertility cases. The exact link between fertility and stress is not clear, but it is thought hormones play a key role. In the journal Human Reproduction an article describes how doctors compared pregnancy rates in couples that reported stress with those who did not. They discovered that pregnancy was much more likely to occur when couples reported feeling relaxed and happy, and was less likely if they reported feeling tense or anxious. The first study of the use of hypnosis in fertility was published in 1999 in The Journal of the American Women’s Association, based on the work of Alice Domar’s PhD Harvard Behavioural Medicine Program for Infertility (1987) and Jon Kabatt Zinn, Professor of Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, in which 42% of 132 infertile women conceived within six weeks of completing the programme using hypnotherapy techniques. So if this applies to you or anyone you know, please come and talk to me about my hypnofertility sessions that can reduce your stress and anxiety, release negative blocks, support you emotionally and physically for IVF or coping with an unsuccessful outcome more easily. pyou.co.uk
