I have been working on this program for the last year or so and have been sharing it with others for quite some time and therefore, really wanted to share it with all of you. It is a program called, “PURPOSE.” I have desgined it to cover the most difficult and most talked about areas of infertility. I have focused it on allowing those struggling with infertility to be able to reach out of a typical medical and internal way of looking at infertility and just being honest about it and how it impacts our lives.
Here is the basic description of the program without going into great detail:
P -paradigm: changing the way you feel about infertility by changing your thoughts first
U – understand: understanding the basic gender differences between men and women
R – random: capturing the random nature of infertility and how to cope when it is you that is dealing with it
P – perspective: looking at things differently even if at first you don’t agree
O – opportunity: what other opporunities for parenting and procedures are there? What are other options?
S – self-esteem: the social and emotional side to infertility
E – endurance: duration, patience, hope and faith. All the words we typically shun but when used, can bring such a unique and fulfilling experience and outlook to your life. This is why we discuss this section last.
I love this program that I have developed and am so excited to share it with all of you! I would love any feedback on any of these areas from your own perspective and experience.
