Mind/Body Medicine Cultivating Inner Resources To Relieve Stress and Nurture Well-Being
Besides the physical challenges associated with infertility, many people experience emotional challenges as well. Infertility can cause stressful symptoms, such as difficulty thinking of anything other than fertility, lack of concentration, deep feelings of worry/sadness, difficulty sleeping and feelings of frustration/hopelessness.
Mindfulness Based Support Can Help You
Support Options:
Dr. Fraga offers several support options for individuals undergoing fertility concerns/assisted reproductive technologies. She completed mindfulness-based training for fertility concerns with Buffy Trupp, MA, colleague of Dr. Alice Domar. Dr. Domar's research indicates that learning to elicit the relaxation response greatly reduces stress and increases one's chances for conception.
Dr. Fraga offers the following:
* 10-week mindfulness-based support groups for fertility concerns (email for more information).
* Customized one-one, weekly consultations. This program follows the course of the group and a 10-week committment is recommended.
Mindfulness-Based Support Can Help you:
* Explore the mind/body relationship and its impact on fertility working with the mind to modulate the physiological symptoms of stress.
* Modulate the relationship between stress and successful assisted reproductive technologies.
* Learn relaxation and mindfulness-based techniques, such as breathing and other techniques that elicit the body's relaxation response.
