The Physical And Emotional Toll Of Infertility On Sexual Desire - With Bridget | Ep. 66

The dream of having a family can quickly darken in the face of fertility issues. Sex suddenly becomes a highly monitored business, filled with immense pressure and  crushing timelines.

33 year-old Bridget endured three tumultuous years of IVF treatments, invasive medical procedures, severe sickness, and the trauma of pregnancy losses, all while living through the stress and isolation of Covid. The experience left her feeling utterly broken, both physically and mentally, and traumatized with severe PTSD.

Through it all, Bridget eventually delivered two healthy babies, but her views toward sex were understandably negative. She had no sexual interest or desire, and felt sex to be an endless chore and duty.

Listen to how Janna helped Bridget redefined the meaning of sex in her marriage and what Bridget’s husband has learned about his approach to his wife. There are so many valuable takeaways in this episode to help navigate the valid state of low sexual desire.Do you feel alone in your struggle to want and enjoy sex but have no idea where to start?If so- I invite you to join my free class happening on Tuesday, Sept 17 at 5:00-6:30 PACIFIC TIME: Wanting It More 101: Increase Interest and Enjoyment without Pressure or Guilt​If you're a man and would like to get information specifically aimed at you, I’m running a brand new free class for men, called Getting It More 101: Increase Her Interest and Enjoyment without Adding Pressure on Thursday, Sept. 19 at 1:00 - 2:30 pm PACIFIC TIME.
