Reproductive loss is far more common than most of us realize until it happens to us or someone we love. Miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy, termination for medical reasons and the losses that can accompany infertility are very different experiences, but they share something important: people often leave medical care still needing support for everything that comes afterward.My guest, Jessica Fisher, founded Lavela Health after experiencing a ruptured ectopic pregnancy in 2021. She went looking for a therapist who understood reproductive loss and discovered how difficult that was to find. Over the next two years, she researched what was missing and eventually created Lavela, which connects people with therapists who specialize in reproductive loss.Jessica's own story continued after her ectopic pregnancy. She experienced four additional losses and later went through another pregnancy carrying a tremendous amount of anxiety. We talk about what it means to move forward after loss when pregnancy itself may no longer feel safe or uncomplicated.One of the things I found especially important in our conversation was the distinction between having a good therapist and having a therapist who understands reproductive loss. You may already have a therapist you trust and want to continue seeing. Specialized care can be added when you need someone who understands the particular grief, fear and physical experience that can accompany reproductive and pregnancy losses.Jessica explains how Lavela matches clients with clinicians based on the type of loss they've experienced and what they're looking for in a therapist. Because care is virtual, access isn't limited by geography in the same way as a local practice, although clinician licensing restricts their offerings to California. Lavela intends to expand beyond the state to accommodate the need. Another part of our conversation focuses on what happens outside the therapy room. Partners, family members and friends may desperately want to help and have no idea what to say. Sometimes their attempts to make things better can leave the person who is grieving feeling even more alone. Having a skilled therapist can take some of that pressure off the relationships closest to you.We even get into AI and the growing number of people turning to technology for emotional support. There may be a place for tools that help someone find information or organize thoughts, but Jessica feels strongly that grief needs human connection. Reproductive loss is deeply personal, and being heard by someone who understands this particular kind of loss matters.Toward the end of the episode, we talk about recognizing when additional support may be helpful. Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and there is no set time to be “over it” . Sometimes you simply need someone in your corner who understands what you've been through and where you are now.This episode may be especially helpful if you are:grieving a miscarriage, stillbirth, ectopic pregnancy or termination for medical reasonsgoing through infertility and carrying losses that may not be visiblethinking about trying again after a losspregnant again and finding it difficult to trust the pregnancywondering whether specialized support could complement the therapy or medical care you already havetrying to support a partner, friend or family member through reproductive lossReproductive loss can be isolating, particularly when the rest of the world seems to expect life to return to normal long before it feels normal to you. My hope is that this conversation helps you understand what specialized support can look like and reminds you that you can ask for more help when you need it.Support your fertility journey with the Preconception Plan at Health Youniversity:https://healthyouniversity.co/programsLearn more about Lavela Health:https://lavelahealth.comFollow Lavela Health on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/lavelahealth/Follow Lavela Health on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/company/lavela-health/ 💻 About Susan Fox: https://www.healthyouniversity.co/aboutTake your 5-Element Fertility Quiz: http://yourfertilityquiz.com/Detox to De-Stress: View the FREE Masterclass on the importance of detoxification to prepare for a healthy pregnancy: https://susanfox1.easywebinar.live/gentle-detoxLearn about our program entitled Your Fertile Health: https://www.healthyouniversity.co/programsSchedule a Fertile Health Assessment: https://www.healthyouniversity.co/your-fertile-health-callLet us journey with you as you navigate your fertile health.
