Welcome to Healing Pineapple Therapy, PLLC
Childless Not By Choice (CNBC)
One of the most challenging and emotionally charged parts to the infertility/trying to conceive (TTC) journey is having to make the decision, when is enough trauma, grief/loss, and finances enough? For some, the family building journey is complete when the couple/indvidual decides to be CNBC. At Healing Pineapple Therapy, PLLC we are sensitive to the emotions and reasons that lead to this decision and are here to support you through this process.
This Wasn't the Plan
We live in a very family focused society. From early on we are provided narratives and expectations that we are suppose to grow up and become parents. While it is a common narrative, some people know that parenthood is not for them, and make a choice to be child free. For others, all they want is to be a parent, but for medical complications, infertility/loss, emotional, and/or financial reasons, building a family with your own children is not possible. This is when CNBC comes into play. It's a very emotional and personal decision that may require additional support from a caring professional to grieve and adjust to. Healing Pineapple Therapy, PLLC is here to support you and/or your partner as you adjust to life as CNBC.
Embracing Change
If you are having a hard time accepting or deciding to end/pause your family building journey, we are here to provide you a supportive and safe space to explore your choices and decisions. Using a variety of psychotherapy techniques we will provide you therapeutic support to grieve, process your loses/trauma, and build a new narrative on "family".
