Is social media harming our fertility? - Keri Cohen, LMFT

Licensed psychotherapist and fertility coach Keri Cohen discusses the impact of stress, cortisol and social media; and our innate desire to somehow stay ‘in control’ as family building attempts often force us to accept challenging circumstances, and soften our grip on the illusion that any of it is actually within our control…Having been through the IVF process herself numerous times, Keri recognized a gap in traditional therapy for “IVF women” and those struggling with the multitude of decisions and frustrations that accompany fertility treatments.This episode is as soothing as it is directional. It addresses real feelings that come up in therapy and offers insights for women to pursue during fertility counseling for more support. The topics covered include:•Self talk•Secondary Infertility•Fertility PTSD•Vulnerability•Serving others•Living in the surrender•True readiness •How we spend this time really matters•Perils of social media & our reactions to what we see•How the fertility journey creates more resilience — and fosters the “mother within” who’s there alreadyYou’ll find perspective and inspiration in this conversation that’s all about embracing what’s happening, in order to move forward.To begin working with Keri, you can send her an email or visit her website:[email protected]*This show is sponsored by SeedFertility.com.
