“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 won’t 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.
Watch Dr. Loree Johnson, LMFT, fertility counseling and reproductive trauma expert, for this dynamic one-day training that will give you the skills you need to process infertility grief and trauma with your clients. 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
Packed with case studies, exercises, and compelling self-reflections for the therapist, this training will have you ready to meet the growing need for support around infertility.
你有孩子嗎？這個常見問題旨在收集信息、建立聯繫並圍繞客戶的生活構建背景。但對於不孕症患者來說，這是非自願無子女的悲傷和孤立。隨著越來越多的人開始成家，生育挑戰的增加，不孕症創傷和悲傷將出現在更多的治療實踐中。
如果沒有針對不孕症悲傷和創傷的專門培訓，您將無法有效地挑戰這些客戶所經歷的不充分信念、消極的自我價值、羞恥、擔憂、易怒、抑鬱、身體問題和人際關係衝突 – 也無法駕馭無數他們面臨的心碎。
不要讓治療成為應對當前或以前不孕症的客戶感到進一步污名化的地方。
觀看 LMFT 生育諮詢和生殖創傷專家 Loree Johnson 博士的動態一日培訓，它將為您提供與客戶一起處理不孕症悲傷和創傷所需的技能。使用文化謙遜的鏡頭，您將學習以下策略：
提出正確的問題，以了解客戶不孕症經歷的核心
使用 EMDR、以軀體和情緒為中心的技術等對個人和夫婦進行干預
評估客戶的交叉身份以將他們的生育故事背景化
利用雙過程模型支持所有生命階段的悲傷
