Statistics show that around 30 – 40% of mothers or parents describe their birthing experience as traumatic. What is the reason for this high number and what are the long term implications for parents' mental health?
In this talk, clinical hypnotherapist and doula Alexandra Heath provides some answers to these and other questions. You will learn about the concept of systemic birth trauma as well as challenges that parents face in the aftermath of birth trauma, and how these impact their mental and emotional well-being.
Alexandra also offers insights into how practitioners can support parents after a traumatic birth experience that avoid re-traumatisation.
