Reproductive Grief and Trauma

Asking for help is hard; I’m glad you are here.

Avoiding reminders and triggers of the trauma.

Crying and grieving over the experience that you had and all that did not come to be.

Feeling angry and alone; that no one understands your pain.

Having anxiety about future pregnancies or births.

Feeling disconnected from and untrusting of your body.

Worrying about your ability to bond with your baby.

Reduce how often you feel triggered and how intense the triggers are.

Process your experience in a safe, supportive environment.

Re-connect with your body and baby.

Plan for your future family-building goals.

For the first session, we will meet by video for 60 minutes. In this session, we will get to know each other and discuss your goals for therapy. We will decide how often and how long to meet for sessions.
You can bring your stuff to talk about, and I can bring some education and skills to help you towards your goals.
There is no set answer; therapy takes as long as it takes. We will use the goals set in the first session as measurement for progress. Usually, I see improvement in 3-6 months, but we can decide together based on your progress. We can always add new goals as you learn more about yourself.
My role is to establish a nonjudgmental, safe space in which you can share your thoughts and feelings. I will bring education and skills to the session to support progress towards your goals. I may ask questions to guide you through exploration of your thoughts and beliefs. I may provide an alternative perspective.
