BIRTH TRAUMA

Working through birth trauma with EMDR is important because it helps you heal from any emotional scars that may have been left from your birth experience. Birth is a powerful, transformative event, and sometimes the challenges or unexpected moments can create lingering feelings of fear, anxiety, or even guilt. EMDR is a gentle, effective way to process those emotions, allowing you to release any trauma and move forward with a sense of peace, confidence, and emotional freedom. By healing from birth trauma, you can embrace the journey of parenthood with a lighter heart and a stronger connection to yourself and your baby.

  • utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help individuals process birth trauma by targeting and reprocessing distressing memories, emotions, and physical sensations tied to the experience. EMDR is particularly effective for birth trauma because it helps the brain process overwhelming or unprocessed memories that may be stuck in the nervous system. Through bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows clients to reframe and heal these traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional charge and allowing for greater peace, clarity, and integration.

  • Yes! This is my preference in fact. I believe in taking a holistic approach, so I like to work with everyone involved in the birth experience, when it serves the family. Whether it’s the birthing individual, their partner, or other family members, addressing the trauma together can foster better understanding, communication, and healing within the family unit. This way, we can support each other through the healing process and create a more cohesive, supportive environment for everyone involved.

  • The number of sessions it will take to process your birth trauma can vary depending on your unique experience and needs. However, I typically like to work in a similar format to my EMDR intensives, which involve 5, 90-minute sessions. This allows us to dive deep into the trauma and create meaningful progress in a focused and supportive way. Of course, we can always reassess as we go, and I will tailor the approach to what feels right for you.
