SUMMARY:No Longer Trying\, Still Struggling: Perinatal Mental Health after Infertility Across Complex Family-Building Pathways
DESCRIPTION:For many individuals\, achieving pregnancy or becoming a parent after infertility is expected to bring emotional relief\, closure\, or healing. Yet many continue to experience anxiety\, hypervigilance\, grief\, emotional numbness\, identity disruption\, pressure\, guilt\, or persistent fear long after fertility treatment ends and parenthood begins. These experiences are often socially and clinically misunderstood. \nJoin Kenzi Locks\, LCSW\, Yesh Tikva’s Director of Program and Educational Development for a thoughtful professional training exploring the emotional complexity of pregnancy\, postpartum\, and motherhood after infertility. Together\, we will examine how prolonged reproductive stress\, medical trauma\, uncertainty\, and survival-mode coping can continue to shape emotional experiences well beyond conception\, pregnancy and birth. \nThis webinar is designed for therapists\, social workers\, psychologists\, and psychiatrists. Clergy\, healthcare professionals\, and other aligned professional who support those navigating reproductive trauma\, infertility\, pregnancy and early motherhood are welcome as well. \nClinicians will leave with:\n\nA deeper understanding of how infertility histories may continue to shape maternal mental health\, relationships\, attachment\, and early parenting experiences\nA stronger framework for understanding why infertility-related distress may persist during pregnancy and postpartum\nIncreased sensitivity to experiences often missed or minimized clinically\, including gratitude guilt\, persistent hypervigilance\, emotional disorientation\, bonding fears\, and identity disruption\nPractical language and interventions that help clients feel validated without minimizing\, pathologizing\, or oversimplifying complex but expected emotional responses\nGreater confidence supporting patients through emotional experiences that may hold both profound joy and ongoing grief simultaneously\n\nWhether you are newer to reproductive mental health work or already supporting infertility patients in your practice\, this training aims to deepen clinical understanding and support more nuanced\, compassionate care for individuals whose emotional struggles do not simply disappear once treatment does.
