How Miscarriage & Infertility Therapy Works
You can learn to find moments of joy again.
Counseling for miscarriage and infertility typically begins with an assessment phase, where the therapist and the individual or couple explore the specific emotional and psychological impact of the experience. This initial phase involves discussing the circumstances of the loss, the current emotional state, and any previous experiences with grief or trauma. The therapist helps identify feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, or confusion, and works to understand how these emotions are affecting daily life and relationships. Establishing a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship is crucial, as it sets the foundation for effective treatment.
In the subsequent phases, therapy focuses on processing grief and developing coping strategies. Techniques may include:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns.
Mindfulness practices to manage stress and anxiety.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to process negative thoughts and memories.
Narrative Therapy to help individuals construct a meaningful story around their loss.
Throughout therapy, the goal is to empower individuals to integrate their loss into their life narrative, find ways to honor and remember their loss, and develop resilience to move forward with hope and healing.
