Infertility Therapy
Often when we think of infertility, women get the main blame, but men can also deal with infertility. We forget this and put the shame and blame on women. Women often blame themselves for infertility when men deal with low sperm count as well. There are many reasons for infertility. There could be an underlying medical condition that is not identified or diagnosed. Often, it is easy to self-blame and stew in the guilt of what “could I have done differently.”
In the same way, men do struggle with infertility as well. Male clients often work through the loss of confidence and self-worth. And even the grief of extending the family’s name/legacy. Often individuals find they tend to withdraw from family events or avoid questions of having children. There can also be quite a bit of resentment when you are dealing with perceived shame and embarrassment. Feelings of anger and jealousy towards the family unit surface.
