Reproduction is one of the most basic human drives and, yet can be one of the most misunderstood experiences if problems occur. Impaired fertility and reproductive loss create an emotional minefield of loss, grief and narcissistic injury. Clinicians need to understand the unique aspects of the suffering from reproductive loss as well as resiliency factors. This presentation will provide a framework of understanding the social context of reproductive loss, the profound suffering which results and the tools for promoting resiliency in healing.
