If you are struggling to conceive, you may be surprised to learn that psychological factors might be playing a role.
We’ve all heard of couples that ‘stop trying’ and then immediately conceive. This is a good example of the role of the mind in conceiving. Some practitioners believe removing the stress of actively trying to conceive from the situation allows a couple to relax, which can actually increase fertility.
Stress is not the only factor that can affect the reproductive system – other common factors can include low-self esteem, past trauma and confidence – all issues that hypnotherapy can help you with.
If you are trying to have a baby, hypnotherapy can help you investigate a range of factors, any one of which, or combination of which, might be affecting your ability to conceive. These factors could include:
- Reducing your stress levels
- Identifying and resolving any emotional blockage that might be affecting you or your partner’s arousal and/or performance
- Restoring nervous balance
- Reducing negative thinking and beliefs
- Restoring calm
- Building your confidence and self-esteem
- Developing inner resilience
- Resolving any past traumas
- Mentally preparing for the future
- Improving intimacy
Many of these factors can have consequences that are physical as well as mental.
Your body needs to be functioning at optimum health, both physical and emotional for successful conception. Hypnotherapy can help you achieve this!
Trying to have a baby is stressful, particularly in situations where you are not conceiving as quickly as you would like. Hypnotherapy can immediately help you to relax and take much of your stress away so you are able to approach conception in a more relaxed and balanced manner. Then we can investigate any other reasons that might lie behind your difficulties in conceiving.
Having a baby is a joint effort, so it’s important that both partners take part in hypnotherapy. In the same way as you should both avoid smoking and drinking to increase the chances of conception, you should undertake building your emotional strength through hypnotherapy together.
Hypnotherapy cannot only help you to have your baby, but also to cope with family life afterwards!
