Have you experienced reproductive loss such as miscarriage, stillbirth, perinatal loss, infertility, or failed surrogacy or adoption? Have you experienced trauma around any of these or other reproductive experiences, such as birth trauma?

Have you used writing to help process your experience?

I am a Ph.D. student conducting a research study to explore how writing can support healing after reproductive loss or trauma—and I’d love to hear from you.

🔍 Who can participate? Adults (18+) who have experienced reproductive loss/trauma and used writing (journaling, poetry, essays, etc.) as part of their journey. You don’t need to consider yourself a writer, although if you do that’s great!

💬 Participation involves an hour-long interview.

📚 Your story could help shape future writing workshops and trauma-informed practices.
