Palingenesis - Reflections on Surviving Infertility

A memoir in essays by a psychosexual therapist about her experiences undergoing fertility treatment, and finding solace in writing, art, and the world around her.
In this poignant collection, psychologist and therapist Sue Hann exposes the heartbreak of infertility through a series of reflective essays. Despite her background, she finds little solace in clinical literature, so she turns instead to writing, art, and nature to make sense of her experience.
Finding strength and meaning everywhere from Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings to Sri Lanka's rainforests, in Palingenesis, Sue Hann navigates the struggles and heartache of unsuccessful fertility treatment through the transformative power of art and nature.
