Infertility Grief and Trauma: Integrative Strategies to Help Individuals and Couples Move Through Grief and Improve Mental Health

Do you have kids?

This common intake question is intended to gather information, forge connection, and build context around your clients lives.

But for your clients experiencing infertility, it is a major trigger. And it activates the grief and isolation inherent in involuntary childlessness.

As more individuals start their families at older ages and the presence of reproductive challenges increases, infertility trauma and grief will show up in more therapy practices.

Without specific training in infertility grief and trauma, you wont be effective at challenging inadequacy beliefs, negative self-worth, shame, worry, irritability, depression, body issues, and relationship conflict these clients experience - nor be equipped to navigate the myriad of heartbreaks they face.

Don't let therapy be a place where clients coping with current or previous infertility feel further stigmatized.

Using the lens of cultural humility, you'll learn strategies to:

Ask the right questions to get to the heart of your clients' infertility experience
Intervene with individuals and couples using EMDR, somatic and emotion-focused techniques, and more
Assess your clients intersectional identity to contextualize their reproductive story
Utilize the dual process model to support grief at all life stages,
