Stress can play a very major part in an inability to conceive and have a successful birth.
There are many factors that can affect fertility. Often too there is unexplained infertility. When a couple begin to try to conceive, and as time goes by, the pregnancy does not occur, this often leads to stress, anxiety, guilt, blame and self doubt. This not only affects women but also their partners.
Infertility programs are available. However, these take time and have financial implications that continue to add to the stress and the other negative feelings already present.
Hypnotherapy for fertility issues is extremely beneficial. You learn to relax, gain confidence in your mind and body, and also to regain control over your life and fertility. This is done by altering your thought processes. This will enhance your ability to conceive and to manage the fertility process.
Hypnosis is a tool you can use to assist with your desire to conceive. It complements other procedures and therapies.
Whether you are having medical or complementary treatment for fertility or not, hypnotherapy can assist you. By remaining calm and relaxed and putting your thoughts into perspective, you and your partner can increase your chance of conceiving and having a wonderful pregnancy and birth.
Hypnosis for Fertility is conducted on an individual basis. This enables you to proceed at your pace in your time. We look at issues that may be affecting you in a gentle, respectful and calm way.
Hypnosis Works!!
Worry = Negative Self-Hypnosis
The negative self-talk you allow in your mind about the challenges you may be experiencing, repetitive patterns and/or other difficulties can cause great stress and worry.
When you become so worried that you allow a negative inner mind state to take over, you begin to realize the self-fulfilling prophecy of failure.
Hypnotherapy = Positive Change
There is help. Hypnotherapy transforms the fear and frustration you are feeling, providing you with tools that enable you to achieve the relaxation necessary for a calm, peaceful, positive and viable pregnancy.
Various studies indicating the power of hypnosis
Studies have indicated the “infertile” women utilizing mind/body techniques have a 42-55% conception rate as compared to 20% for those not following this protocol.
A 1992 study found that women who participated in mind body therapy experienced a 34% conception rate compared to 20% with in vitro fertilization alone. Decreased levels of depression, anxiety and anger were also noticed.
Another study showed the efficacy of hypnotherapy as compared to psychoanalysis and behaviour therapy. After 600 sessions of psychoanalysis, 38% of patients reported recovery from their conditions; those receiving behaviour therapy improved in 72% of all cases after 22 sessions, while hypnotherapy produced a 93% success rate after only six sessions.
A study by John Gruzelier, Professor of Psychology at Imperial College School of Medicine, revealed that self-hypnosis could strengthen the immune system by 48% in six weeks.
Two studies conducted by Alice Domar, PhD, showed the efficacy of mind/body techniques in removing unresolved issues about having a baby. In the first study, published in 1999 (Journal of the American Medical Women’s Association), 42% of 132 infertile women participated in a mind/body program conceived within six months of completing it. In the second study, published in 2000 (Fertility and Sterility), 55% of the previously infertile women who met regularly conceived, compared with 20% of the control group who used no mind/body techniques.
A 2004 Israeli study conducted by Professor Eliahu Levitas showed the hypnosis can double the success rate of IVF and was presented in July 2004 to the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology Conference in Berlin and is soon to be published in an American medical journal.
