The Program – What To Expect
The Hypnosis For Fertility is a program of 6 sessions. These sessions are tailor made for your individual needs, uniquely designed in order to help you clear or deal with any emotions that may be inhibiting conception and are specifically intended to give you tools and techniques to manage stress and encourage a positive outlook. Each session will also include hypnotic trance in order to access the unconscious mind and encourage fertility and ready the mind as well as the body for pregnancy. This program is much more than just learning to relax!
So that I can design this tailor made program for you, the first time we meet will be a double session (2 hours). The first hour or so of this will be an “intake interview” a time to share what has been happening so far on your journey and this will form the basis of our work in the subsequent sessions.
The outline below is a composite of a “possible” 6 session program.
Session 1 and 2
In this double session we will go through the intake interview, I will be asking you questions about your life and what has been happening with your fertility journey. This information is essential as it is key to building your unique, tailor made program. During the second half of the session you will learn a specific “1 breath” relaxation technique and also experience a hypnotic visualization journey, specifically designed to enhance fertility.
Session 3
During this session you will probably be introduced to a wonderful technique known as Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT. Thus gentle technique is surprisingly powerful and is used to help let go of any negative emotions that may still be attached to events you have experienced or concerns you have about the future. Another hypnotic visualization will complete this session.
Sessions 4-6
Using hypnosis, EFT and techniques from Neuro Linguistic Programming, we will continue to work through any areas highlighted in the intake interview, and those which may have arisen during our time together. You will also learn the technique of self-hypnosis and be encouraged to use this skill during any ART (Assisted Reproduction Technique) procedures. Holding onto past issues (even on an unconscious level) could be inhibiting your ability to conceive and letting go of these and gaining a more positive outlook prepares you mentally for conception. There is growing evidence to support the mind body connection and if the mind is in the right place then the body will follow.
Each session will include a hypnosis/guided visualization and can focus on many aspect of fertility including, visualizing the womb ready to receive, “encouraging” your eggs to enhance good production, imagining the sperm and egg meeting and having fun together!
Areas that have previously been worked through by clients have included, fears of never becoming a mother, not feeling good enough, past traumatic events, worries about upcoming interventions and treatments, concerns of “IVF not working”, being an older mother, difficulties seeing or being with friends who are pregnant or attending baby showers etc.
Many clients decide to continue on with further sessions beyond these 6. These are used to continue the fertility journey, or once pregnant, you may decide to continue sessions to ensure a healthy pregnancy, cope with your changing body, get ready for birth etc.
Whatever your outcome, the skills you learn and the experience you gain by taking this program will enable you to feel stronger, calmer and more in control of your life.
