Mind/Body Programs

 

ImageThe Domar Center for Mind/Body Health's Program for Infertility is a ten-session group treatment program that meets on weekday evenings. This program has been in existence since 1987 and was founded by Alice Domar, Ph.D. Participants report decreases in physical symptoms such as insomnia, headaches and gastrointestinal distress---and psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and irritability---as well as a 50% conception rate.

Our five psychologists provide individual or couples therapy, as well as structured group programs focused on issues surrounding infertility.

Through these programs, you will learn:

  • Numerous relaxation strategies, stress management skills and support from others who "get it."
  • How to change lifestyle habits which can have a negative impact on fertility.
  • The safety and efficacy of different alternative medicine approaches.
  • Cognitive restructuring, which involves identifying and reframing recurrent negative thought patterns, so that what starts as "I will never have a baby," may end up as "I am doing everything I can to try to get pregnant."
  • Self-nurturing skills ranging from, "101 excuses to avoid baby showers" to "How to restructure your daily life to add as much joy as you can."
