Group Therapy for Pregnancy or Baby Loss
You’re angry and scared and devastated. Your baby died and you hurt. All over sometimes.
It has been days, weeks, years since you had to say goodbye, and the ache in your body persists. You’ve joined forums and Facebook groups and follow anyone who talks about the thing you can’t stop thinking about. Or maybe you talk to no one, keeping the pain and grief bottled up inside.
You may struggle with your self-esteem in new ways. Or perhaps your loss triggered feelings from long ago. Your relationships have been impacted and you just want things to go back to how they were. When you were naive, like your friends and colleagues, and the people at the grocery store who think about having a baby and get excited like it’s no big deal.
This 8-week group will meet virtually via Zoom. It will incorporate journal writing, expressive arts, and EMDR, to process the trauma of losing your baby. This is a space where you can discuss it all— the guilt, the pain, the sorrow, anger, resentment... Whatever you are experiencing, we can hold it for you as you process and heal. Gain support from others and offer it in return. You may be surprised how good it feels to hold space for others.
Using an EMDR group protocol, this unique therapy group offers a somatic, bottom-up approach to facilitate the healing and processing of traumatic aspects of your loss.
Processing these memories will enable you to assimilate and integrate these parts of your life. You will find it easier to recall these difficult moments without being triggered or overwhelmed. Through the group experience, you will develop new coping strategies and reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness as you heal and move forward.
This group is appropriate for all grieving parents, regardless of gender, length of the pregnancy, or how recent the loss. It will be co-facilitated with Vera McGrath, LMFT.
