All clients have a reproductive story – whether they have children or not, whether they want children or not, regardless of their gender or sexuality.
And while for some that story goes as imagined, many clients go through the quiet devastation of any number of unanticipated traumas.
These stressors create unique mental health challenges that are different from what therapists were trained to treat. Infertility and pregnancy loss aren’t typical grief. Birth trauma isn’t typical trauma. Perinatal mood issues aren’t just depression and anxiety.
Unseen and unacknowledged, these traumas can shatter clients’ sense of self and shake the foundations of their intimate relationships.
Whether clients are presenting to your practice to work specifically on symptoms related to reproductive trauma – or whether reproductive trauma comes up as relevant in the context of other clinical work – you need to be prepared to help them navigate these complex struggles.
Watch Janet Jaffe, PhD, co-founder and co-director of the Center for Reproductive Psychology and acclaimed clinician and author, for this dynamic seminar designed to help you:
Assess clients’ reproductive story and its impact on self and relationships
Utilize the latest approaches to treat reproductive trauma
Create opportunities for posttraumatic growth – whether clients eventually have children or not
Manage issues of therapist self-disclosure and countertransference
客戶都有生育經歷——無論他們是否有孩子，是否想要孩子，無論他們的性別或性取向如何。
雖然對於某些人來說，故事如想像中那樣發生，但許多客戶會經歷許多意想不到的創傷的悄悄破壞。
這些壓力源會帶來獨特的心理健康挑戰，這些挑戰不同於治療師接受過培訓的治療方式。不孕症和流產不是典型的悲痛。出生創傷不是典型的創傷。圍產期情緒問題不僅僅是抑鬱和焦慮。
在看不見和不承認的情況下，這些創傷會破壞客戶的自我意識並動搖他們親密關係的基礎。
無論客戶來您的診所是專門針對與生殖創傷相關的症狀進行工作——還是生殖創傷是否與其他臨床工作相關——您都需要做好準備，幫助他們應對這些複雜的鬥爭。
觀看珍妮特·賈菲 (Janet Jaffe) 博士、生殖心理學中心的聯合創始人兼聯合主任、著名的臨床醫生和作家，參加這場旨在幫助您的充滿活力的研討會：
評估客戶的生殖故事及其對自我和人際關係的影響
利用最新方法治療生殖創傷
為創傷後成長創造機會——無論客戶最終是否有孩子
管理治療師的自我表露和反移情問題
