1:1 Childbirth Trauma Therapy for Mothers
You've tried to "move on" after what happened during birth.
But the weight still lingers.
You stay busy caring for your baby, going through the motions.
You tell yourself, “This must be what motherhood is.”
But certain things hit hard like
Driving past the hospital
Hearing a baby cry
Retelling your birth story
You wonder, “Am I too sensitive?” or “Shouldn’t I be over this?”
You’re not broken. You’re not failing.
You’re dealing with PTSD after giving birth and you’re not alone.
Healing isn’t about forgetting. It’s about making space for what happened and feeling safe again in your body and life.
It's about actually feeling safe in your body again consistently.
It's not about knowing that you should feel better.
True healing doesn’t come from forcing yourself to move on.
It starts with gently understanding how trauma has impacted your mind, body, and sense of self.
Even with love and support, your body might still carry what happened.
If you feel on edge, disconnected, or like you're holding on by a thread, your nervous system may still be activated in survival mode.
And that’s not your fault. It’s your body’s way of protecting you
What We’ll Work on Together
You may have had hopes and dreams for your birth that were shattered.
We’ll gently work through those losses, such as:
Grieving the experience you didn’t have
Processing the way you were treated
Healing from what your body went through.
Grief Support for Childbirth Trauma
Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, numb, or easily overwhelmed.
This means you’re outside your “window of tolerance.”
I’ll help you:
Understand your body’s response
Learn grounding tools
Feel like yourself again
Understanding Your Emotional Reactions
Making Sense of Your Trauma Response
You might be thinking, “I should have spoken up” or “Why didn’t I do more?”
We’ll explore these thoughts with compassion.
Together, we’ll shift from self-blame to understanding by asking:
Not “What’s wrong with me?”
But “What happened to me?”
