WHen Your Birth experience still feels heavy
Birth Trauma Therapy
Compassionate Support for Healing After a Difficult or Traumatic Birth
You expected to bring home a baby.
You may not have expected to bring home fear, grief, guilt, anger, or memories that still feel difficult to revisit.
For some women, birth trauma develops after a clearly frightening experience. For others, it can happen after a birth that looked "healthy" from the outside but left them feeling powerless, overwhelmed, or deeply disappointed.
If you find yourself replaying parts of your birth story, avoiding conversations about your delivery, feeling triggered by reminders of the experience, or wondering why you can't seem to move on, therapy can help.
Birth TRauma Therapy
You Don't Have to "Just Be Grateful"
One of the most common things I hear from mothers is:
"I know I should just be grateful that everyone is okay."
Gratitude and grief can exist together.
Relief and trauma can exist together.
Loving your baby and struggling with your birth experience can exist together.
Therapy creates space for all of those experiences without judgment.
You might be struggling with birth trauma if you:
Frequently replay your birth experience in your mind
Feel anxious or emotional when talking about labor or delivery
Avoid reminders of the birth experience
Feel angry, disappointed, or betrayed by parts of your care
Experience guilt about decisions made during labor
Have difficulty trusting your body
Feel disconnected from your birth story
Notice increased anxiety, panic, or hypervigilance after delivery
Feel fearful about future pregnancies or births
Birth trauma can look different Than people expect.
Birth trauma can follow…
Emergency cesarean sections
Unexpected medical complications
Severe pain
Feeling unheard or dismissed by providers
NICU stays
Medical emergencies involving mother or baby
Loss of control during labor
Traumatic fertility, pregnancy, or postpartum experiences
Sometimes there is no single event that feels traumatic.
Instead, there is a lingering sense that something happened that your mind and body have not fully processed.
