In today’s episode of What the F – From Infertility Exhaustion to Peace, Tina takes you through how to manage the fear and uncertainty that often comes with infertility and IVF. While it’s completely normal to feel anxious or overwhelmed, you don’t have to let fear control you. Instead, there’s a powerful tool that can help you navigate through this: reframing.

Reframing is an NLP tool that allows you to change the way you see your situation—shifting from a place of fear and negativity to one of hope and empowerment. In this episode, Tina shares how reframing your thoughts around IVF can drastically change your experience of the journey, helping you move from a space of anxiety to one of resilience and peace.

Tina walks you through how to use reframing in your daily life to manage negative thoughts, stop spiraling into worst-case scenarios, and regain control over your emotional well-being. She also shares her personal journey of facing fear during IVF and how reframing was a crucial part of her emotional healing.

If fear and uncertainty have been weighing you down, this episode is for you. Listen in to discover how reframing can help you reclaim peace, confidence, and a healthier mindset throughout your IVF experience.

• Summary: This study explored how mindset—specifically reframing stressful situations—can influence the physiological stress response.
