A lot of times, when something hurts, naming it can tame it. Grief isn’t always about loss of something tangible. It could be about loss of an idea or possibility. When things look different than we expected it’s normal to grieve what could have been. And when people hurt us, sometimes we grieve the relationship we thought we had, or the potential for a better one. The way we grieve or when might surprise us, and let’s always remember that grief and happiness can always coexist.

Listening, talking, BLS-ing. Wouldn’t have it any other way (she says as she just ended a session in 15 minutes late because we were still talking about her birth story).

I spend a lot of time talking with clients about what well-meaning family, and friends say that might miss the mark when they’re on a fertility roll roller coaster. If you could ask for what you really needed, what would it be.

I spend lots of sessions talking how even well meaning family, and friends miss the mark when a loved one is on a fertility rollercoaster. If you could really ask for what you need, what would you say?

This may work for some, but it’s an antiquated view for all. One of the most common questions I get asked during an intake is whether I’m a mom. Clients often want a therapist who they know will get it. I get asked a lot “ if you don’t mind sharing…” and I don’t. I’m happy to. Because when you’re going through fertility treatment, you don’t want to spend half your session teaching a science lesson. And if you’ve had a miscarriage, loss, or a NICU baby, you realize that all the empathy in the world might not give you the same level of understanding as going through it yourself. My client’s sessions are still all about them and just them, but I think there’s a delicate balance to self disclosure, and I don’t think answering a question or sharing my own experience has every negatively impacted the therapeutic relationship. #
