BIRTH TRAUMA WITH HELEN MARSHALL

Service Description

Sometimes birth doesn’t go as we hoped or imagined. For many, the experience can feel overwhelming, frightening, or even unsafe. When that happens, it can leave lasting emotional marks this is what we mean when we talk about birth trauma. Trauma isn’t about whether the birth was ‘complicated’ on paper; it’s about how it felt in your body and heart at the time. We'll look at responses: emotional/ physical / relational *The nervous system and trauma - It’s like your body’s alarm system got stuck on high alert. *Impact on identity and self-worth - Seeking support shows courage *Hope and recovery - Recovery doesn’t mean forgetting — it means finding ways to live with more ease and self‑compassion. When we share stories it will be around how they felt, what helped you cope at the time - rather than details of their birth. This session will be within the Mini Hub space of the Little Seedlings Hub, a small intimate space for you and others to gain support. There will be play set out for your child if they are attending with you. Spaces are limited. Hot drinks & biscuits will be provided during the session. NO REFUNDS ON PREBOOKED SESSIONS.
