Medical StudiesStudies Show that Therapy can increase conception rates
A Harvard Medical School Study showed that "the pregnancy rates of women trying to conceive more than doubled when they participated in group therapy." Of 184 women with fertility problems, 55% of those who completed a 10 week course of relaxation training and stress reduction had a viable pregnancy within one year, compared with just 20% of the group who had no stress reduction training. In a second study at U.C. San Diego, doctors found that women undergoing fertility treatments who remained relaxed and optimistic had better overall outcomes than women who were pessimistic about their ability to conceive.
