Helping Clients Deal with Infertility Through Affirmations
If you have clients going through infertility struggles, tell them to be gentle on themselves and let them know there is no right way to feel. Infertility is both physically and mentally draining, so if your clients feel more reactive, less patient, or more worn out, that is to be expected.
The following affirmations are here to provide your clients with some comfort as they continue their journey to conceive. As with everything we suggest, they can take what works for them, leave what doesn’t, and adapt any of the statements to fit their own experience better.
This refreshingly candid resource fills a notable void by providing real, honest, and raw insights into motherhood. With their nonjudgmental yet humorous tone, Caitlin and Chelsea provide a deep dive into all things #momlife.
