The goal of this training is to depathologize the presence of grief and shame in motherhood and to embolden and equip participants to move closer to these inescapable vulnerabilities that all moms experience. We will explore how grief is a natural, healthy process and shame is the unfortunate byproduct of wounding that gets activated when we are mothering in a patriarchal culture. And we will expand out shared courage to become more intimate with these tender places we all share.

Using the Mom Parts Method (an IFS framework), we will lean against collective Self-energy and venture further into our own vulnerable parts. New ways of understanding and being with maternal grief and shame will be explored, enabling us to bring fresh courage, curiosity and compassion into uncharted territory, expanding confidence that can be shared with the mothers we are supporting.
