Hypnotherapy for Natural Fertility & IVF, Wilmslow

Stress and anxiety are known to affect fertility and trying to conceive can be stress inducing – waiting for a positive result each month can sometimes negatively affect us – and so stress and anxiety levels build, which interferes with the body’s ability to conceive.

Hypnotherapy for Natural Fertility & IVF

And so a negative cycle is born.

When humans are anxious and in ‘fight or flight’ mode the reproductive system is impaired as the body believes that it is saving your life from a threat and so does not want to create a new life under those conditions.

Hypnotherapy helps by helping you to switch off from your fears and anxieties, teaching you techniques to relax wherever and whenever stress threatens to affect you. It helps you to relieve the pressure you put on yourself through ‘trying’ to conceive and to switch off and let go of any negative thoughts or feelings.

These hypnotherapy techniques are appropriate whether you are attempting to conceive naturally or through IVF.
