Pregnancy loss at any gestational age impacts parents in so many ways, and couples can grieve in different ways. When couples are able to share their narratives together, they may learn aspects about each others’ trauma that they did not previously know. Sandtray is a wonderful way for couples to co-process shared trauma and grief they have experienced after pregnancy loss.

Identify dynamics that occur in therapy for couples that have pregnancy loss;
Learn ways to set up sandtray for couples in couples therapy;
List non-directive and directive prompts that can be used for co-processing of grief;
