i’m a hot mess of emotions
You’re hopeful because you tried a new procedure. You miscarry and you’re devastated.
Week to week, your emotions are on a rollercoaster ride that never seems to stop. You want this so bad, it’s become the entire focus of your life.
And suddenly, everyone around you is pregnant. You want to be happy for them but you’re so jealous and it seems so unfair.
No one seems to really get it.
I hear you.
After personally experiencing 8 years of infertility treatment, I can say I have literally walked in your shoes.
I’d like to be the therapist for you that I wish I had. One who understands the unique twists and turns involved with trying to conceive and speaks the language. One who can offer coping skills developed from living that experience.
What you can expect in our time together
A 50-minute block of time where you can find
- a safe place to vent about all the stupid things people say
- encouragement in words that resonate
- hope that you will get through this experience with your relationship intact
- support as you figure out each step of the unfolding journey
- peace with wherever your journey takes you
Struggling with infertility is an incredibly taxing journey, and sometimes the only way to get through the two-week wait is with a little dark humor.
You know you’re ready for infertility therapy with Laura when…
- Your bathroom counter looks less like a vanity and more like a high-stakes chemistry lab, and you’ve developed the steady hand of a surgeon while peeing on sticks.
- You’ve seen the inside of your uterus on a monitor so many times that you’ve started critiquing the lighting and composition like an art house film director.
- You find yourself wearing pineapple-print socks, eating pineapple cores, and seriously considering buying a pineapple-shaped house because a stranger on a forum said it “helped their friend’s cousin.”
- You spend more time “talking” to search engines about cervical mucus and basal body temperatures than you do talking to your actual partner about what’s for dinner.
- You’ve become so triggered by social media pregnancy announcements that you can “mute” a person with the speed and precision of a professional gamer.
Infertility is a unique kind of grief that happens in monthly cycles. It’s like running a marathon where the finish line keeps moving, and everyone else is cheering from the sidelines while holding a baby. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” your body; it’s about finding a safe space to unpack the heavy emotional luggage that comes with reproductive challenges. Scroll down to find your safe space.
