TAMING TFMR TRIGGERS www.thetfmrdoula.com/triggers Having the first drink of beer or coffee after you lose your baby... Trying to connect again with your partner through sggsy time... Going on the pre-planned "baby moon", but without your bump... Your clothes fitting differently, finding the baby clothes you bought with so much hope, even YOUR PARTNER not needing to change their clothes!!... All of these things and more can be a trigger after TFMR (termination for medical reasons) pregnancy loss. I went through it too after I lost my baby - there was even this one water glass that I always used to super hydrate in pregnancy. After my baby was gone that glass made me feel ill just looking at it. I wanted to smash it on the floor, run away from it and simultaneously enshrine it as a tiny memory with her - but it was wrapped in in SO MUCH PAIN. The triggers come from the pain, this ache, this desire and longing for our baby, but pop up at the LEAST convenient time. When you just want to drink a coffee and put on some pants in PEACE!!! I found that talking about the triggers in therapy, writing about them, thinking about how I could fix them logically, did not help. There's a direct line to the triggers, and it's in a place you can tap into -in the moment - to come back to your center too: the body. After I learned how to do this, I was able to drink coffee again, see pregnant bellies, even go to the gynecologist, without panic attacks and falling down on the ground in a bundle of tears. I'm going to show you how I do this in Taming TFMR Triggers, a workshop I am putting together for you and holding LIVE on Monday, February 10th.
