This workshop led by Dr. Julie Bindeman, PsyD, sheds light on the often-overlooked narrative of reproductive trauma, crucial for mental health professionals. With up to half of all reproductive-aged cisgender women affected by maternal mental health issues, this course addresses the gaps in clinician training.
Participants will explore the ethical dilemmas surrounding reproductive trauma and maternal mental health complications and learn how to integrate this knowledge into their practice.
Combining lecture, case illustrations, and discussion, this course introduces Dr. Janet Jaffe’s concept of the “reproductive narrative” that shapes how a person envisions themselves as a parent. It addresses familial expectations around parenting and mothering, which can be impacted by a reproductive trauma, such as infertility or pregnancy loss.
This 3-hour continuing education course also explores the framework of grief and loss in the context of reproductive trauma, acknowledging the nuanced losses that may be imperceptible to others. For example, an early miscarriage might be explained away by a well-meaning individual as “at least you can get pregnant.” But this devalues the meaning of the event to the person that experienced it.
Using Joann Paley Galst and Judith Horowitz’s ethical framework from “Ethical Dilemmas in Fertility Counseling,” this course equips mental health professionals to navigate the complexities of reproductive psychology.

Description de l'évenement
The reproductive years, spanning from adolescence to the early 40s (and even beyond for cisgender men), hold the potential for joy in family growth. However, this period is often marred by shame and hidden hopelessness due to reproductive trauma—experienced by 1 in 6 couples facing infertility, 1 in 4 enduring pregnancy loss, and 1 in 8 grappling with perinatal mood or anxiety disorders.This workshop led by Dr. Julie Bindeman, PsyD, sheds light on the often-overlooked narrative of reproductive trauma, crucial for mental health professionals.
