Therapy for Miscarriage & Pregnancy Loss

Struggling to cope with a miscarriage?

Losing a pregnancy creates a form of disenfranchised grief, meaning it is often not acknowledged or discussed. While this is changing and many people are more open about losses, it can still feel like everyone around you is getting pregnant and giving birth to healthy babies. Even if you know others who have experienced a miscarriage or loss, everyone’s experience is different, so you still may not feel like you have the supports you need and want.

Signs you might benefit from miscarriage therapy

You may benefit from therapy to process your miscarriage or loss if you’re noticing:

  • Anxiety

  • Worry about your fertility, and the worry is difficult to control

  • Panic (heart racing, sweating, difficulty breathing)

  • Low mood or depressed mood

  • Difficulty enjoying things

  • Changes in your appetite

  • Guilt

  • Difficulty sleeping

Most people experience some days where they feel anxious, worried, or depressed after a miscarriage. If these symptoms are persistent and hard to cope with though, therapy to support you through your pregnancy loss can help.

My approach to therapy after a miscarriage or loss

I approach to therapy after a miscarriage or loss by providing space to hold and honor your emotions and process your grief. After a miscarriage, many people also wish to continue trying to conceive and carry a pregnancy to term. Pregnancies following a miscarriage can be filled with anxiety, particularly around the time of your prior losses. Therapy after a miscarriage can help you learn additional coping strategies to manage anxiety if and when you begin trying to get pregnant again.

Therapy after a miscarriage or pregnancy loss can help you…

  • Process grief

  • Honor and validate your experiences

  • Increase support in your relationships

  • Keep anxiety and depression symptoms from going haywire and taking over

  • Learn how to let go of and get distance from bothersome thoughts

You don’t have to navigate grief on your own.
