The Miscarriage Map: Attachment-Informed Interventions for Ethical Treatment of Pregnancy Loss

$249.99 Standard

The grief that follows pregnancy loss is unique.

Clients face a terrible emptiness of lost hope and shattered dreams, with far-reaching ramifications on their sense of self, their bodies, their relationships, and more.

Without training in treating this distinct form of reproductive trauma, therapists can inadvertently echo the pervasive minimization and avoidance faced by their clients with pregnancy loss.

You need a map to navigate this complicated territory.

Watch Sunita Osborn, PsyD, PMH-C, perinatal mental health specialist, for a comprehensive workshop packed with practical, attachment-focused strategies that will help you know just what to do to support clients in the context of their unique reproductive stories and cultural backgrounds. You’ll learn:

  • Techniques to help with overwhelming emotions, body shame, grief, couples issues, and more
  • Practices to foster self-compassion and build resilience in the face of self-blame
  • Strategies to understand clients’ cultural identities in relation to pregnancy loss
  • Tools to ensure your practice follows ethical and legal guidelines regarding pregnancy loss
