How does mind/body medicine help alleviate the stress associated with infertility?
First, notice the question said alleviate, not eliminate. The only factor that can completely eliminate the stress associated with infertility is the resolution of infertility. What mind/body medicine, and mind/body programs for infertility, can do are give people a different, more effective option for coping with the stress. Although these strategies can not stop the causes or triggers of stress related to infertility, they can help in changing the reactions people have to the stress of infertility. The specific techniques associated with mind/body medicine, that can be learned in Complementary Care Group’s Mind Body Program for Infertility, help people gain some control over the uncontrollable feelings of stress, anxiety, and depression that are often a part of the infertility journey. These techniques once mastered, are also a lifelong way to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.
