The psychoeducation piece is huge, with this right, because really, parents that are going through it, they are like shocked in the woods with no compass right, and they they don't know what is normal, they don't know what they're supposed to do and oftentimes our society does not know how to do grief.
Imagine facing the heart-wrenching loss of a pregnancy or infant. In this episode of 'The Savvy Shrink', host Andrea Schneider, MSW, LCSW, sits down with Laura Navarro Pickens, LCSW, to shed light on this deeply painful topic. Laura brings decades of experience in guiding families through the aftermath of perinatal loss, including miscarriage, stillbirth, birth trauma, infertility, and postpartum adjustment. Laura shares her invaluable insights on how to support parents grappling with such profound grief.
She emphasizes the importance of psychoeducation to help parents understand their feelings and navigate their sorrow. Often, society is unsure how to support these parents, leaving them feeling isolated and confused. Laura stresses the need for therapists experienced in postpartum mood and anxiety disorders and traumatic grief to provide the necessary support. One key takeaway from this episode is the power of online communities, especially for parents in rural areas who might not have access to local support groups.
Laura and Andrea also touch on the unique challenges men face in coping with perinatal loss, a topic often overlooked. This episode is a beacon of hope and compassion for anyone dealing with perinatal loss. It offers practical advice and emotional support, aiming to help parents find a path to healing and eventually thriving again.
