Venting negative feelings may unburden the couple.A support group may provide a safe haven for the couple to share their experiences and gain insight from others' experiences.Although talking about their feelings may unburden them of negative feelings,infertility can be a major stressor that affects the couple's relationships with family and friends.Limiting their interactions to other infertile couples may be a beginning point for addressing psychosocial needs,but depending on where the other couple is in their own recovery process,this may or may not help them.The statement about adoption proceedings is not supportive of the psychosocial needs of this couple and may be detrimental to their well-being.
