At the end of the rainbow
Another month, another negative test. But instead of my usual ‘pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again’ attitude, I felt very low. I was depleted of energy, happiness and the hope that I would become a mother.
A few years after our miscarriage and the ensuing vacuum of ‘unexplained infertility’, I had reached rock bottom. For the first time, I struggled to restart the monthly treadmill of trying to get pregnant, to put on my brave face and start all over again. I had lost faith and I’d lost my way; cutting myself off from friends and family, focusing solely on the baby-shaped hole in my life.
“I was an emotional wreck. I had spiralled into negative thought patterns and isolated myself from my friends”
It was during that darkest time that I confided in a colleague and she suggested I visit Lisa Jackson, south London-based clinical hypnotherapist and founder of Quiet Medicine, who offered hypnotherapy for fertility. I cannot adequately express my gratitude
