It is clear that womb twin survivors need appropriate and specialist help from any therapist they may seek out for help.
Some womb twin survivors spend a great deal of money on therapies that don't help with therapists who don't understand.
As her last task on behalf of the womb twin survivors project, Althea is putting together a PDF ebook, which will provide a simple set of healing steps which every womb twin survivor must make, regardless of the way their twin ( or other womb mates) died and regardless of the kind of therapy that is being employed to help them.
As a reader of this blog, you are probably a womb twin survivor yourself, and have probably tried some forms of therapy which have helped to a certain extent. You may also be some kind of therapist yourself, or at least have some ideas about how therapy should be delivered to womb twin survivors as a distinct group.
Whatever your experiences and opinions, Althea would like to hear them. Here is a form to enable you to do this:
When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
Not sure if you are still working on this project, but I am a womb twin sirvivor and would like to understand techniques to help improve my sense of loss/my search for something/someone who can never be found.
ReplyDeleteHi, Althea has already published a book/ebook, as a result of this project, called Ripples From the Womb - a beginner's guide for therapists who are new to this. You might find this useful and can be downloaded from our website. For more in-depth answers please contact Olga Waters at olgawaters2@gmail.com.
