IBILAB includes psychological support and attention as a necessary service within the in vitro fertilisation programme within three levels of intervention:
• Information and orientation
• Evaluation
• Psychotherapy
Our aim is to make it easier for the couple and/or women throughout the project of having a child and its fertilisation process.
The person suffers from emotional pain upon discovering this reproductive problem, along with passing through a series of experiences or situations during the period prior to making and searching for decisions on a medical solution.
They are confronted with a level of emotional instability upon every new stage of the process, never fully knowing if the key aim will be achieved: to have a child.
Many partners and individuals have kept their problem silent and fear sharing, asking questions or exchanging opinions, etc. The “Psychology and Sexology Cabinet” has created a space for those silenced expressions and emotions to open new ways of communication that can help us with our personal well-being and that of our partners.
The psychology service offers:
Information and orientation
• For decision making
• For following medical procedures and their various alternatives.
• Sexual information and orientation
• Myths, taboos and beliefs on reproduction.
• Allowing the expression of emotions and thoughts.
• Bibliography
Evaluation

• Emotional and partner communication evaluation.

Psychotherapy
• Support therapy of the emotional states that a person can suffer from. Anguish, feelings of guilt, frustration, depression, etc.
• Therapeutic support before the various levels of the fertilization intervention process and the days of waiting and results.

• Treating phobias and fears.
