Almost every day, I am inspired by my clients’ journeys. Their experiences remind me that there is always hope in life, no matter how dark things may seem. It is incredibly rewarding to witness a person or couple begin to create a richer, happier life and embrace more of their authenticity and joy.
A couple was trying to conceive using IVF. The wife had endured four miscarriages, and her husband wanted her to simply move on without understanding the enormity of her grief and loss. Understandably, the husband thought he was best to stay strong and not show emotions, believing this would help his wife move forward.
When they came for counseling, I allowed them to express their emotional needs and the reasons behind their behaviors to each other. They began to identify areas of emotional pain and, crucially, the husband started to recognize his fears of being vulnerable. As a result, their communication shifted, and they began to empathize with each other.
Over time, their healthier communication skills allowed them to relax into the process of IVF. They learned to allocate time for grief and loss, and today they are stronger than ever with two children. Every 18 months to two years, they come back for a check-in to stay on track.
