48: An HSP’s Infertility Journey


Listen Later

Are you struggling with infertility? In this episode, I talk with Liz Gray, LCSW, RPT about her IVF journey through an HSP lens and:  

• The physical, emotional, and mental impact of infertility treatment 

• Why you should ask questions and trust your instincts when interviewing providers  

• Transitioning into parenthood and navigating postpartum as a highly sensitive person  

Liz is a Highly Sensitive Person, certified EMDR therapist and clinical supervisor, wife, human & goldendoodle momma, organizer, forever learner, quiet leader, social introvert, think-outside-the-box creator, trauma survivor, and infertility warrior. She is the proud co-founder of the Trauma-Informed Maternal Health Directory, which connects women to safe, highly qualified trauma-informed providers while they navigate infertility, pregnancy, and new parenthood. Liz lives outside of Chicago, IL with her husband, mini goldendoodle, and 8-month old son.
