The Toll Fertility Issues Take on a Couple, and How to Support Both Partners

 
Dr. Nikki Martinez who has been working as an Independent Medical Expert to assist the courts, for the past decade and has also been an Adjunct professor for almost 14 years again joins eHealth Radio and the Psychology & Relationship Channels continuing an on-going series. Dr. Martinez engages in domestic and international consulting for various individuals, groups, and organizations, and offers individual and couples consulting via Tele-mental health services.
Topic: The Toll Fertility Issues Take on a Couple, and How to Support Both Partners
Listen to interview with host Eric Michaels and guest Dr. Nikki Martinez discuss the following:
You note that couples that struggle with infertility are 3 times more likely to divorce than other couples. I know you had some additional information and statistics you wanted to share with us.
You note that there are some common patterns and behaviors in many relationships that struggle. What are the reasons that you tend to see that happen, so that listeners can recognize the patterns?
You make a special point to focus on BOTH members of the couple and how people can support them. You note that people tend to support the woman, and in certain dynamics, if it is a male-female relationship, note he may be the main support for her, but people don't tend to check and see how he is doing, and this partner may tend to 'not' ask for help and support. What should people in their life do?
You note there are some common habits that most people are guilty of, that people should stop doing, right away, if they take NOTHING else away from this today.
What advice would you like to leave both the couples with, and those who care about them?
Dr. Nicole Martinez received her master’s and her Doctorate from the Illinois School of Professional Psychology and completed her pre-doctoral and post-doctoral fellowship at Gateway Foundation in Lake Villa, Illinois. Prior to that, she attended the University of St. Francis where she completed a double major in Psychology and Therapeutic Recreation, with a specialization in the arts. Dr. Martinez has experience working with adolescents, children, and adults in individual, family, and group treatment.
Her therapeutic style can be described as integrative, assessing the needs and style that will best serve the individual client. She typically has a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy and various holistic approaches, with an emphasis on CBT, Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Positive Psychology. She believes in exploring the connection between the body and the mind to treat all the individuals’ needs. Her belief is that an individual must explore many areas of their functioning to ensure optimum health physically and emotionally.
She stresses the essential belief that the therapist and client relationship is collaborative in nature, and the two are partners who communicate from the first steps of designing the course and goals of treatment, as well as what the priorities will be. Dr. Martinez understands that it is just as important to identify any treatment styles, tools, techniques, or methods that did work, but what did not work as well, so that the two of you can work together charting a new path and avoiding precious time lost and frustration on that which has already been proven to be a poor fit.
Dr. Martinez also understands that each person is unique, there is no one size fits all, and that the needs of an individual may not only change from the initial inception of a treatment plan but from month to month or session to session, and that adapting and meeting the patient; where they are at; at any given moment is essential to both letting the patient knows they are being heard and attended to, as well as positive treatment outcomes.
