Experiencing a miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or having an abortion can cause intense feelings. These experiences may cause trauma responses due to the intensity of the emotional pain. After a pregnancy loss, miscarriage, or abortion, common feelings include sadness, grief, guilt, shame, loneliness, anger, and fear. Pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and abortion may lead to physical complications and emotional pain, complicating the healing process.
Available Treatment Options
Therapy for pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and abortion addresses these intense emotions surrounding the loss. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by reframing unhelpful thoughts, teaching mindfulness practices that allow people to sit with their painful emotions, and encouraging behaviors to experience joy. Other forms of therapy for people experiencing pregnancy loss include grief counseling and group counseling with therapists assisting people with similar experiences.
