Katherine, Clapham
One of our Therapists will meet with you (individually or as a couple) to find out more about you and the miscarriage that you have suffered. They will ask you about your life before you became pregnant, your hopes and plan for the baby that you lost and the impact that your miscarriage has had on you, your partner and your family.
Next your Therapist will teach you about the way that our minds and bodies deal with grief and the processes that people have been hardwired to go through in order to survive the pain of loss. They will then look at your particular response and help you to make sense of this. Knowing what is happening to you and why can help the experience to feel less overwhelming and you to feel less hopeless and helpless within it.
You will then work with your Therapist to process your loss and work out how to reconfigure your life with your miscarriage as a part of it. One aspect of this will be to teach you skills to moderate the pain that you feel so that you are able to begin the process of re-engaging with your life.
Finally, your Therapist will help you to think about what comes next for you and your family, whether this is trying to conceive again, taking a break for a period, exploring other options for being a parent or deciding to move on to something else.
