Infertility - Hypnosis can make a difference!

mum and baby Infertility is one area where research has shown hypnotherapy increases the chances of pregnancy, especially where couples have been assessed as having no physical problems but yet find it difficult to start a family.

Please read on for more information on how hypnotherapy can boost fertility, and how it increases the success rate for those who choose IVF treatment.

Hypnotherapy boosts fertility

The doctor and specialists have confirmed that your inability to conceive is not caused by any physical problems with you or your partner, yet you still can't become pregnant.

Couples trying to start a family that have been told "it's all in the mind" or " Stop trying so hard and relax" are often so stressed and despondent by the time they hear the "unexplained infertility" diagnosis that they find it hard to truly relax again and let nature takes it's course.

I'm sure you have heard of couples who get so tired of trying to start a family that they give up and accept that they are not going to succeed, then as soon as they forget about trying, they become parents. Of course trying to tell yourself to not think about becoming pregnant when you want to is like trying not to think of a pink elephant as you read this!

Stress is a major factor. For many the stress of not becoming pregnant adds to the difficulty. There may be other influences too that affect your sub-conscious mind, perhaps depression because other friends and colleagues seem to be able to get pregnant at the drop of a hat. This further pressurises you when you should be relaxing.

If you can identify with some or all of the above there is hope for you, using a natural drug free and relaxing therapy.

Hypnotherapy Treatment for Infertility

Baby Hand Some excellent results have been achieved in this field in recent years by hypnotherapists. The positive attitude and relaxation created by a course of hypnotherapy can often succeed where other treatments have failed.

Hypnotherapy is a true mind/body technique that helps individuals deal with subconscious blocks that may be preventing conception. Through use of hypnotherapy techniques the issues surrounding infertility can be identified and in many cases overcome.

Examples of fears and anxieties that a woman may have that can affect conception...

> Labour

> Childbirth including the pain and dangers

> Hospitals/medical staff

> Loss of career and independence

> How good a mother will I be?

> Physical changes in my body

> Am I ready to be a mother?

> Did I have childhood issues that I am afraid will recur in my own child?

> Will my new baby affect my marital relationship?

Subconscious thoughts may hold the key

All the above and more may be hidden in the sub-conscious even though you dismiss them consciously. Let's take an example of how subconscious thoughts are stored and may not necessarily be true.

A young lady struggling to conceive revealed in hypnosis that a strict grandparent frequently commented to her spouse "this world is no place to bring a child into nowadays". The lady had been subjected to this during her formative years and even though she had no conscious re-collection of it the powerful sub-conscious had accepted it as fact, after all it was from an elder. During hypnosis the event was re-visited and the adult understanding she now had was applied to rewrite the subconscious belief. The result was a positive attitude to starting a family and resulted in a pregnancy not long afterwards.

The side effects are all positive!

Of course no one can guarantee success by this method or any other for that matter, however recent research and opinion suggests that hypnotherapy can often make the difference.

Boosting IVF chances

For those that decide on IVF treatment, hypnotherapy sessions usually include training in self-hypnosis, a method shown to increase the chances of success when undergoing IVF procedures. The woman gains a positive attitude towards pregnancy, is relaxed, and does not have the same stress levels during the medical procedures. She is also able to concentrate all the positive energy on making the treatment a success. Many hypnotherapists working in the field of infertility believe that using self hypnosis techniques may also contribute to a calmer more relaxed baby.

I have "unexplained infertility" can you help?

That term has been heard many times in hypnotherapist's practices. Alan takes this as a positive indication. When there exists no organic reason for infertility, hypnotherapy can make a real difference in creating the positive attitude that allows nature to take it's own way and produce new life.

Alan has worked successfully with infertility clients, treating them with respect and understanding, and of course as with every client, total confidentiality.

Hypnotherapy and Reiki - a powerful combination

Alan may also suggest combining Hypnotherapy and Reiki to produce a completely holistic treatment that works on the mind, body, and spirit. This combination can greatly boost your chances of conception. Reiki is especially good at creating physical relaxation, so important when trying to conceive, and also at dispersing physical blockages that may build up in the bodies system over time
