Breaking the Silence: Infertility, Stress and Self-Compassion

Infertility and pregnancy loss is not a topic that we often talk openly about. Yet, according to Fertility Canada , roughly 1 in 6 couples experience infertility, a number that has doubled in Canada since the 1980's. Those navigating these challenges often face a range of emotional and social impacts, including feelings of shame, guilt, isolation, and, in some cases, depression and loss of self-esteem. At the same time, friends and family members can often feel unsure of how best to offer meaningful support. Breaking the Silence: Conversations on Infertility & Loss is a series that aims to open the conversation. This session will focus on: Infertility, Stress and Self-Compassion. Join our guest speaker Izabela Bienko from LOGOS Psychology who will explore the connection between stress and infertility and offer some practical staretgies for self-compassion and emotional well-being.
