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.
As always, please keep in mind that this is my perspective and nothing in this podcast is medical advice.
