How to Deal with Insensitive Comments about Childlessness

How to deal with insensitive comments is something that most childless-not-by choice women have to learn. Perhaps, like me, you’ve been on the receiving end of hurtful words that shock you or cause you to feel completely pissed off.

It’s true that some comments are well intended, but even so, they can leave you reeling. But sometimes the words used are intentionally hurtful. Spiteful even. Most times, they try to minimise how infertility or childlessness affects you.

Even worse is the sense of entitlement others feel they have to tell you how lucky you are that you can’t have kids, don’t get your sleep disturbed, can do what you like, and imply that you should get over it. Believe me, I’ve heard some corkers in my time. My jaw has dropped at the tactless and unsympathetic things people have said.

I do understand the pain and frustration caused, the impact on your sense of self, the need to withdraw and cocoon yourself, and sometimes the desire to lash out.

So, how to deal with insensitive comments? The first port of call is to deal with the emotional sting you feel, and for that I recommend Meridian Tapping.

There are various forms of Meridian Tapping, such as EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), TFT (Thought Field Therapy) and different derivatives. All of these techniques involve tapping on meridian (acupuncture) energy points, while ‘tuning into’ the problem, thought, or feeling that causes you to feel upset.

Take a look at the video for a demonstration of Meridian Tapping.
