Ep. 28 - Infertility and emotional disconnect: when your husband doesn’t quite get it
Manage episode 498443023 series 3667336
In today’s episode, we’re talking about a topic that comes up often in the fertility journey, feeling like you're carrying the emotional load of infertility alone, especially when your husband doesn’t quite get it.
Infertility can leave you feeling isolated and disconnected, especially when your partner doesn't seem to understand the emotional and physical toll it's taking on you. But it’s not always about them not caring. Often, it’s about the way men process their emotions, and the cultural and societal expectations that shape how they show support.
In this episode, I talk about:
- The emotional disconnect that happens in infertility, and why it’s so common.
- What might be going on in your partner's mind when they seem “too casual” about the whole thing.
- A powerful NLP tool called Perceptual Positioning that can help you see things from your partner's perspective and build empathy.
- And share practical tips on how to create more empathy and communication with your partner.
- Why you don’t have to go through this journey alone and how understanding each other’s emotional experience can make a huge difference.
If you’ve been feeling frustrated, isolated, or disconnected from your partner in your fertility journey, this episode will provide insight, tools, and encouragement to help you communicate better and feel supported along the way.
