Fertility Hypnotherapy
The NHS state that one in seven couples trying to conceive may experience difficulties, fertility hypnotherapy can help couples struggling to get pregnant. The chances of getting pregnant naturally reduce to one in four, for couples who have been trying to become pregnant for over 3 years without success.
Trying to conceive in itself can be stressful which in turn can create a loop of stress and pressure. The release of stress and anxiety hormones can prove to be detrimental to fertility. A gentle alternative therapy to manage stress and anxiety levels when trying to conceive is hypnotherapy, reducing stress reduces stress hormones.
There are many reasons why a couple can struggle to conceive, not all causes are physiological. Even after physiological fertility conditions has been identified and treated, psychological factors such as stress and anxiety can impact on fertility.
The anxiety and stress cause the release of hormones cortisol and adrenaline. The release of cortisol and adrenaline by the body due to stress can impact on the hormones needed for conception. Stress hormones impact on both male and female fertility. In males, high levels stress reduce the levels of the hormone testosterone and can affect the quality of semen.
Hypnosis for fertility helps both men and women feel calmer and relaxed. When we feel centred and calm, we feel more in control, reducing the feelings of anxiety and stress. Our brains produce endorphins when we’re relaxed. Endorphins help to restore the body’s hormone balance. Hypnotherapy can help to identify conscious and unconscious issues which may be contributing to the difficulty to conceive. Issues such as negative self talk, anxiety and excessive worrisome thoughts can be overcome.
