When we launched the Women’s Mental Health Hub, one comment from a reader stopped us in our tracks:
“Endometriosis and infertility took up many years of my life, causing heartbreak and anger and loneliness. At the time it didn’t occur to me to find help and talk about it, maybe help wasn’t so accessible back then. More recently, I have spoken about it, and I still talk about it sometimes, and now the memories I have feel softer which I am so grateful for. The relief of being able to talk things through so openly and honestly with someone who truly listens and understands is immeasurable, that’s why it is wonderful to see this post.”
This is the lived reality for so many women—years of physical pain coupled with silence, frustration, and grief. Endometriosis and infertility are not just medical challenges. They reach into identity, relationships, self-worth, and a person’s hopes for the future.
What stands out in this story is the change that came from speaking. By finally finding the courage and space to talk, the memories softened. The anger and loneliness lost some of their hold. That shift—when an experience stops being jagged and becomes something that can be lived alongside—is what counselling so often offers.
At Hope Therapy & Counselling Services, we believe that every voice deserves to be heard, without judgement, and without needing to hide the messy, painful, or complicated parts. Whether you are navigating infertility, managing endometriosis, or dealing with the after-effects of years spent in silence, you do not have to carry it alone.
If this reader’s words resonate with you, we warmly invite you to book a free consultation. Talking can be the first step towards making painful memories feel softer.
