145. Exploring the Emotions of the Struggle to Have A Baby with Aliza Tropper, LMHC

On this episode of Talking Away The Taboo, Aliza Tropper, LMHC, joins Aimee Baron, MD to talk about... -the emotions that come up during the quest to build a family -the guilt, shame, sadness, anxiety, inadequacy, etc., and how they manifest -suggestions on how to make these deep feelings more manageable, like self-soothing, mini-breaks, reaching out for support and even medication if things become too overwhelming This line really stuck with me- "if you don't grieve, you spend the rest of your life grieving." We all need to take the time and space to feel all the feelings, but make sure you are taking care of yourself in the process too!
