Understanding the Impact of Relational Trauma on Grief

Unresolved trauma from past experiences and relationships may be getting in the way of your current grieving and healing process. A challenging past with your parents and/or family can make connecting with the grief and loss of your pregnancy or child a struggle.

In this 90-minute interactive workshop, you will:

  • Learn the definition of relational trauma

  • Understand how relational trauma from your past may be interfering with your grief

  • Learn strategies to cultivate self-compassion

  • Discover tools to work with traumatic barriers so that you can be fully present with the grief surrounding the loss of your pregnancy or baby

  • The journey of love, loss and life after loss looks different for everyone. Return to Zero: HOPE will be hosting a workshop series designed to provide supportive spaces for the diversity of our lived realities that come with our individual pregnancy and infant loss experiences. Our hope is to provide helpful resources and tools that encourage holistic healing. These workshops will uniquely support parents and providers through a trauma informed, resilience-focused, somatic approach.

    These workshops will be interactive. There will be time to share, time to write and reflect, and in some sessions opportunity more movement. Please have available a water bottle, paper and pencil, and a quiet space.

    Consider joining a workshop if: it is true to your lived experience; you want to better understand a topic to support loved ones; it piques your interest, and/or it feels like it might be supportive to where you are on your journey. All are welcome.

  • Betsy Winter, our Director of Community Support, will host these workshops. She is a perinatal mental health advocate and certified Mind Body coach, who specializes in grief, trauma, and embodied transformation. To read her full bio click here.
