In Day 1 of The Missing Piece Masterclass, Sharna opens with the foundational question: what has the entire field been getting wrong, and what is it costing your clients?
She walks through:
- Why the medical system classifies pregnancy loss as a resolved event once bleeding stops, and why that's dangerously incomplete
- The somatic blind spot: why talk therapy alone cannot reach trauma stored in the body, the nervous system, and the cells
- The language gap: how the words society and providers use flatten a woman's experience and prolong her healing
- The systemic gap: why practitioners aren't failing their clients, the system they were trained inside is
Day 2 covers the science. Day 3 covers the solution.
