How to deal with an infertility diagnosis from the emotional side of the couple?

Infertility is, for many, a vital crisis from which it is difficult to get out. Accepting that there are difficulties in one member of the couple (or both) when it comes to conceiving a baby, causes many to present physical and emotional alterations that can affect their daily lives: some stop sleeping or eating, others stop fulfilling their academic or work obligations and others have serious conflicts in the relationship with their partner. with his family and with his environment.

This is where psychological support comes into play to modify behavior patterns and help the couple heal wounds, balance their emotions and change their perspective for the future.
