I went to individual therapy, group therapy with a therapist, and a support group. Of the three I thought the group therapy with a therapist was the most helpful. It was a small group of about 6 women with two therapist that led the group. There were exercises to help relieve anxiety, negative thinking, journaling exercises, and just being able to share your experience and feelings with other women that were in the same situation as you. It was mostly about the emotional aspects of infertility and how it changes your life. I went to our local resolve support group, which was peer led, and that seemed to be more focused on the medical aspects of infertility more than anything. I didn't really like it and neither did my husband. Each resolve group is different so your local group may be different than what mine was. I know that there are therapy groups for couples with infertility that are led by trained therapists and that was next on my list to explore. You can try looking on https://groups.psychologytoday.com/rms, and resolve has a section that lists therapist led group sessions, but I don't know if the resolve sight is as up to date.

I have found a therapist and have been visiting sessions for years. It was what I needed back then. And I strongly recommend it to everyone who's dealing with infertility. It is important to care about your mental health as well.
