Rewriting Intergenerational Narratives: Trauma and Reproductive Grief in Birthing People

from $89.00

July 24th 1:00-3:00pm EST, conducted online via Zoom

Centering birthing people experiences has become way more acknowledged over the last decade in mainstream media; however, there’s still a gap in knowledge base on the impacts of trauma and grief. In this training, participants will gain an insight into the nuances of perinatal loss (Bhat and Byatt, 2016). Specifically learning how to recognize ambiguous loss and disenfranchised grief for birthing people. Birthing folks often experience loss in isolation due to the unique experience of grief and societies minimization which leaves them feeling further isolated and disenfranchised from the traditional grieving processes (Lang, Fleiszer, Duhamel, Sword, Gilbert and Corsini-Munt, 2011). In addition, the generational impact of the “good parent” narrative can largely shape a birthing person's experience. Depending on which emotion guides this narrative a birthing person may be more susceptible to experience narratives rooted in shame, guilt or self-silencing (Jackson, O’Donoghue, Helm and Gentilcore, 2024). Participants will walk away with the ability to apply trauma informed and culturally responsive interventions that address grief and shame; while honing their abilities to support narrative repair and meaning making for birthing people.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the psychological impact of infertility, reproductive loss, and disrupted reproductive journeys.

  • Identify how “good parent” narratives contribute to shame, guilt, and silence

  • Recognize disenfranchised grief and ambiguous loss in birthing people

  • Apply trauma informed and culturally responsive interventions that address grief & shame.

Cultivating Healers seeks to provide educational and engaging CEUs with liberatory information, pop-quizzes, and case studies to ensure your learning.
