Lost Children: Abortion, Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Adoption and Other Absent Children

Professional training with CE credits
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nov. 15, 2019 in Lancaster, Pa.

Incidents of abortion, miscarriage, still birth and early childhood death are painfully common experiences in families. More children are lost through adoption, denial and other situations, unique to each family system.

Current social and political controversy aside, helping and healing professionals need positive and helpful tools to support women, men and families to  acknowledge, grieve and move forward. Adults who come from a family where a child was lost in early years – and even long-ago generations – are often surprised to learn that they have been subtly impacted by this family loss. Many more mourn the children who never "were" -- the wished-for children they dreamed of but could not birth.

The methods of psychodrama and Family Constellations, both of which consider the family as a system and the social roles that we play within the system, offer routes to healing and comfort.

Psychodrama helps to identify losses and grieve with the help of role play, surplus reality and other powerful techniques. Family Constellations – as developed by Bert Hellinger adds the important dimension of including the child in its rightful place in the family and relieves pain, guilt and exclusion in current and future generations.

In this training, you will learn:
  • How to introduce experiential methods  to safely explore these losses with women, men and families.
  • How the Family Constellations approach looks at lost children, in comparison to the traditional health models.
  • How a “missing” child in one generation impacts the well being of future generations.
  • How to remember a missing child in a way that is not morbid or compulsive.
  • How to remove blame and shame from these experiences for parents and others.
