I decided to start a family at age 39 and for the last year my attempts to have a child had not worked out. I was told by my doctor that I couldn?t use my own eggs with in-vitro and that the child really wasn?t going to be me, so I felt really isolated. I started to feel worn out and unworthy; I was hard on myself and felt like I was a lot older than I really am. The holidays were a bad time for me last year because I lost the pregnancy with a donor egg. There was a period shortly after everything happened that I felt panicked and anxious and it was almost like I was having a break down. As the holiday season approached this year all the bad memories started coming back and I got into a rut. I felt like such a hopeless case and thought that I had nothing to look forward to. My work was suffering. I?ve tried some counseling to overcome my problem, but it wasn?t very helpful. She didn?t have a lot of experience or professional boundaries, so it didn?t help me. I heard about A New Day Hypnosis on citysearch and decided to call. I have a tendency to be inflexible with myself and internalize everything, but after meeting with Laura, I started to feel like I had more options. I felt more upbeat and excited about things, which made me feel more positive about my situation and really believe that there was hope for me. I really appreciate Laura?s frame of reference about the issues that I face and I noticed that I was much more relaxed. The most important things that have happened for me have been letting go and feeling more resolved about what I would like to do with my life if I don?t have a child. For the first time, I feel okay about things if it doesn?t work out and that?s been really important for me. I would recommend A New Day Hypnosis to anyone in my situation because I think that a lot of people have a hard time letting go, but just like anything in life, this is a gamble, so you have to learn to let go and be okay with things no matter how they turn out.
