Therapy for Pregnancy Loss in California
If you’re a parent who has lost a child through pregnancy loss or infant loss, you’re inevitably feeling a whole range of intense and painful emotions. You may feel broken, empty, or hopeless. To say that you’re grieving feels like a woeful understatement. Because it is. Losing a child is devastating and traumatic. It can feel insurmountable and may change your vision of having a family.
If you’re struggling after a pregnancy loss or infant loss, therapy can be an incredibly helpful way to process your grief and trauma. In therapy for pregnancy loss, you’ll be in a safe space to talk about your unique experience and how it’s affecting you. Right now, this may feel impossible and isolating. The truth is, neither you nor your loved ones can possibly know how to respond to what you are dealing with. That can make you feel lonely and helpless. But meaningful, empathetic support is available to you.
