Birth Story Processing
Helping you see your birth from a fresh perspective
BIRTH STORY PROCESSING
Have you experienced or witnessed a birth with traumatic or unexpected events?
Do you find yourself replaying the same moments from your birth? Stirring up to feeling of regret, sadness or confusion?
Perhaps your birth went according to the “plan”, but you are still stunned or disappointed by it- weeks, months or even years later?
ALL OF THESE FEELINGS ARE NORMAL.
The experience of childbirth is powerful, raw, intense and an transformative experience . The adjustment period with a new baby can be hard, leaving little time to rest and process the birth experience. For many parents, the painful emotions tied to their birth can linger for months or even years after the baby has arrived.
This often leaves parents feeling traumatized or wrestling with unresolved feelings of sadness, disappointment, inadequacy, or confusion. These unresolved feelings and trauma can have an huge impact on how a birthing person bonds with their baby, views subsequence births, navigates the world around them.
We want to help you see your birth through a fresh perspective.
