Telling our story, even to ourselves, can be daunting and emotional, yet the telling of our story can also lead to healing and empowerment. Through hearing others’ stories and sharing our own, we come to understand our unique perspective, we reshape our identity and take our place in the world.
In this webinar Sarah Roberts from The Empty Cradle and Judy Graham from WomenHood, both Childless Therapists, will talk about the healing power of story sharing and provide some useful strategies to navigate the challenges of speaking up in a pronatalist context.
Owning and telling our stories can enable us to use our voices and claim our place in our communities.
Date: Monday 13th September 2021
Time: 10.30am London UK, 3pm Mumbai India, 7.30pm Sydney Australia, 9.30pm, Auckland New Zealand

This webinar may touch on some sore spots and bring up emotions so you might prefer to be in a quiet, private place. Consider what support you might need before, during and after the workshop. Is there someone you could touch base with after the session? Perhaps you could arrange this beforehand or you could do the workshop with some CNBC friends. We look forward to seeing you in the workshop.
