Reclaiming Power After Infant Loss - Cyra's Story
Send us Fan Mail
When former doctor and EFT coach Cyra Baria became pregnant for the first time, she never imagined the heartbreak that would follow. After a traumatic pregnancy loss at 24 weeks, she faced deep grief, guilt, and isolation in a system that didn’t know how to support her.
Years later, through postpartum depression, infertility, and the move to a new country, she slowly found her way back, not by forgetting the pain, but by learning to live with it.
Together, we talk about loss, resilience, the myths surrounding “moving on,” and the importance of giving grief a home.
Key Takeaways
- Medical training doesn’t protect you from emotional trauma, and it can even make self-blame worse.
- The term “cervical insufficiency” may be medical, but it doesn’t define a person’s worth or motherhood.
- Grief is not just about loss; it’s about love with nowhere to go.
- Healing often begins when we learn to bring safety back into our bodies.
- EFT can help calm the nervous system by communicating safety to the brain and body.
- Reclaiming your power doesn’t mean forgetting your pain; it means learning to live in your truth again.
