Interview with Kara Kalin, RCC, EMDR. In this episode we dive deep into the trauma that is associated with infertility, IVF, miscarriage, stillbirth, and as well as birth itself. These traumas plant fear, sometimes to the point of paralysis, making life and the struggles at hand seem impossible to overcome. The idea that trauma from your past may also be playing into your current challenges and traumas should not only be considered, but worked through with someone who has the right tools. Kara uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) to help people process their trauma without having to talk about it. "In the realm of infertility many come to you already experiencing great loss in many contexts so what if we got curious about how we could treat that before the IVF journey begins?? The internalized belief systems that are connected to the small or big t traumas are held in the body. We can spend all this money trying to get our body pregnant and still not see how the mental-emotional part is actually a major factor. The AIP model according to Shapiro is clear that we cannot “out talk” trauma… so talk therapy can actually re traumatize a person. This is an important element to understand, and why EMDR is such a great tool."

For anyone facing challenges trying to conceive it doesn’t take long to understand the basic biology behind the mechanism of how stress can negatively impact fertility. In summary, the physiology of any animal in distress results in the same end: the valuable resources intended to nourish and strengthen the reproductive system are allocated to vital organs for survival (heart, lungs, brain, muscles), leaving fertility function deficient. This impacts egg quality, ovulation, and uterine receptivity. Then starts the search for ideas, tips and tricks, techniques and lifestyle choices, treatments and therapies that may deliver on the promise of reducing stress, therefore improving fertility. This inevitably leads all people to the vast blossoming world of holistic medicine and healing, a necessary component not only to a successful fertility journey, but a life of health, well-being, and limitless potential, fully realized. Today, we focus on what I believe to be one of the most important elements in any persons lifetime if they want to achieve their dreams, whatever they are; meditation. If you are one of the many who may be saying to themselves; “I’ve tried meditating, it was hard” or “it didn’t work for me” or “I don’t have time” then today is your lucky day! By the end of this article you will see meditation in a new light, easy to integrate into your life, easy to do, and a knowing that it is something you just cannot live without, especially if you are faced with a challenge such as infertility.

Observation includes medical testing, self-assessment, technology to track your health, traditional Chinese medicine, and some other assessment tools. This is the first step in your infertility journey. It usually you usually start coming across, well, how do I know what's going on? And you want to answer to specific questions about yourself as to what may be between you and your ability to get pregnant. In my eyes, the first step in applying precise medicine to your individual needs is this step is starting to observe. Starting to do the testing self qualification and quantification are essential to moving forward most effectively and efficiently.
