The Heartbreak of Infertility

Image
  When facing the devastation of an infertility diagnosis, it is important to remember you are not alone. Often this can feel isolating, confusing, frustrating, and be anxiety provoking. Fears stretch wide around your purpose and meaning of life, family, and connection to others. Stages of this grief include denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. The hope is that as individuals and couples move through these stages, they will be able to be stronger and more resilient on the other side and find a new purpose for their lives.

It is important to recognize that research in this area of study owes a great deal of success to a long, elaborate history of Indigenous healing practices around the world—many of whom faced prejudice and persecution for these traditions. With new research in the area of psychedelic medicine, as with many new frontiers, pioneers in this intervention may never receive acknowledgement for their contributions—and it is unlikely that many minority groups whose livelihoods and traditions built the foundation for Western research into this subject wil...
