Dr. Alice Domar is a pioneer in the application of Mind/Body medicine in women's health issues.
Her innovative Mind/Body tools help women to regain control of not only their infertility treatment but also their lives and her programme works. Dr Domar has observed that within one year, more than 50% of the patients who used her Mind/Body techniques along with their infertility treatments conceived pregnancies that resulted in a baby, compared with 20% who did not use the Mind/Body tools.
In case after case, she has found that women who learn to use mind/body strategies manage the stress of infertility and dramatically reduce their levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety, anger and frustration.
When infertile women learn to use simple techniques that allow them to relax, transform negative thought patterns, express their emotions and develop strong sources of social support, they begin to take control of their lives again. They feel significantly less isolated and desperate. They sleep better, their relationships with their partners improve, and they suffer from far fewer stress-related ailments such as gastrointestinal problems or insomnia.
What's more, as she has shown in a number of studies published in peer-reviewed medical journals, they are more likely to get pregnant.
You do not have to be a Bridge patient to attend Mind/Body courses.
