Understanding Tokophobia: The Fear of Pregnancy

In the latest episode of the Colorado Counseling Podcast, brought to you by Overcomers Counseling, we get into a topic that's not often discussed but affects many women around the world - Tokophobia: The Fear of Pregnancy.

Tokophobia is more than just a fear; it's a pathological dread of pregnancy that can lead to avoidance of childbirth. This condition can be classified as primary or secondary, and it's estimated to affect around 10% of women worldwide.

Throughout our discussion, we aim to shed light on this debilitating fear, exploring its symptoms, causes, and potential treatments. We discuss why tokophobia isn't talked about as much as it should be, despite causing severe psychological distress and having far-reaching consequences.
