Birth Trauma

A gentle welcome to you reading this page about birth and postnatal trauma and I welcome you with all my heart as you start to look into healing your hurts. My support is here for you to help disassociate those deep and negative emotions with traumatic events that have happened to you.

Experiencing a traumatic birth can lead to significant physical and psychological distress, with intense emotions arising from a single incident or a series of events during pregnancy, childbirth, or the postnatal period.

Your perception of what happened is true to you, and your feelings you have within you are entirely valid.

These emotions might include low self-esteem, frequent crying, flashbacks, panic attacks, altered relationships, challenges in bonding with your baby, emotional numbness, and anger. Grappling with these emotions can make looking forward feel incredibly challenging, often leaving you feeling lost, especially when you have a young child to care for.

Such trauma can profoundly affect our sense of safety, trust, and identity, influencing how we perceive and interact with the world.

Looking to take a step on a healing journey for yourself is one of the greatest gifts you can offer yourself…..and I know it can be hard with the thought of stepping into this space, so be reassured I wont ever ask for the full details, you can tell me as much or as little as you want, we wont relive anything…..its more about work with the emotions attached to your story.

I Hear You…

I provide two birth trauma resolution packages, depending on what you want to get from your sessions will depend which one you would prefer to work with - we discuss your options in our 30 minute free consultation call.

Heres what I can provide for you:

3 Step Rewind:

The 3-Step Rewind Process is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic technique designed to help individuals release and heal from traumatic memories.

The 3-Step Rewind Process involves three key stages:

  1. Relaxation and Safe Space Creation: In the first step, you will be guided into a deeply relaxed state, often through guided visualization or deep breathing techniques. This helps create a safe and supportive environment where you feel calm and secure.

  2. Rewinding the Memory: Once relaxed, you will be asked to bring the traumatic memory to mind, but from a detached perspective. You'll visualize watching the memory as if it were a movie, rewinding it from the end to the beginning. This rewinding process helps to dissociate the emotional intensity from the memory, reducing its impact.

  3. Reprogramming with Positive Imagery: In the final step, you will replace the traumatic memory with positive, empowering imagery. This might involve visualizing a different outcome or focusing on feelings of safety and strength. The goal is to create a new, positive association with the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Healing from birth trauma

  • I wont be asking you to go into any great detail about your story - it will be more of an over view, and know you don't need to tell me anything, as my aim isn't to spiral you back into it, its to gently detach those negative emotions form your experience.

    So we will be working on how to manage emotions and make them feel more comfortable, so you can move forward with your life with more ease and inner calmness.

  • No I cant do this as it's an imprint in your tapestry of life and part of you. We will look to replace the negative emotions, with a calmer and more peaceful focus. So your experience helps you become a stronger you as you move forward with your healing.

  • If you experience persistant feelings of distress, anxiety, flashbacks,or depression related to your birth experience, it might be beneficial to seek help. Our 30 minute consultation will help us determine if this is right for you, or if you need other specialist support.

  • After a session, you may feel a range of emotions. Its common to feel relieved, but you might also feel emotionally drained. Its important to practice self-care and give yourself time to process the session.

I am dedicated to providing compassionate support and effective therapeutic techniques to help you heal from traumatic birth experiences.

Much love always
