When No One Understands: Reducing Shame and Isolation

Today I discuss how isolation and shame go hand in hand.  We get angry and resentful for not being seen by people in all aspects of our lives, however there are useful tools we can employ to start to change this. We start by understanding and validating our own experience--ie, to "see" ourselves. When we combine this with naming and processing our emotions, we start to take back our agency. Finally, I discuss some useful thoughts for how to move beyond shame and into a more joyful and whole experience of life on the fertility journey.  Support the showAs always, please keep in mind that this is my perspective and nothing in this podcast is medical advice.If you found this conversation valuable, book a consult call with me using this link:https://www.loveandsciencefertility.com/private-fertility-consultFollow us on social media:IG: www.instagram.com/loveandsciencefertilityFB: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61553692167183Please don’t let infertility have the final word.
