The Hidden Impacts of Birth Trauma
Free Guide
Recovery from an emotionally distressing or traumatic birth can be messy, confusing and overwhelming.
You keep replaying moments over in your head and wishing things had gone differently.
You're left with so many heavy feelings - guilt, disappointment, grief, sadness, fear, anger, rage, resentment.
You're snapping at your loved ones and feeling on edge.
You've lost confidence in yourself and second guess every decision.
You feel this deep sense of overwhelm when you think about your birth. And you worry about how all of this is impacting your parenting, your bond with your baby and your relationships with those you love.
What you're experiencing isn't because you failed or because you don't love your baby. This may be the ripple effects of birth trauma.
And the reality is that months or years after birth, you may still be feeling the weight of this.
What you'll find inside the guide:
- Why you can't seem to move on from what happened in your birth
- The most common ways that birth trauma shows up in everyday life
- How a distressing birth affects your relationship with your partner and your bond with your baby
- How to take the first steps towards healing
Hi, I'm Bec.
I'm a perinatal mental health nurse & counsellor.
I've worked with hundreds of mums who feel lost and overwhelmed in motherhood. And I've supported them to reconnect with themselves, repair relationships and finally let go of the weight they are carrying.
I also have my own story of becoming a mum and navigating recovery from a traumatic birth. So, I really do get just how hard it can be.
