Current or unresolved conflict, trauma and loss

Current or unresolved conflict, trauma and loss There are implications for the infant–parent relationship if trauma and loss for the parent are not adequately resolved. This can include current circumstances, for example, intimate relationships characterised by conflict and violence or bereavement during pregnancy. Unresolved childhood or adolescent trauma or ongoing conflict with family members can also preoccupy expectant parents in ways that interfere with their ability to anticipate and imagine the baby to be. Feelings about and a preoccupation with these events may intrude on present relationships and the mother or father to be may require psychological support and intervention. Parents with unresolved loss and trauma may have difficulty providing sensitive, responsive caregiving to their infant if aspects of the pregnancy or caring for an infant reactivate traumatic past experiences and memories.
