Birth trauma is real, and healing starts with understanding. 💜
Too often, moms are told to just “move on” after a traumatic birth because their baby is healthy. But what about you? Birth trauma isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how it made you feel. If you walked away from birth feeling unheard, dismissed, or broken, this episode is for you.
I’m sitting down with perinatal therapist Leslie Herhold to dive into:
✨ Why birth trauma is so personal—what happened to you matters.
✨ The impact of survival mode on birth experiences.
✨ How grief and gratitude can exist together (and why that’s okay).
✨ Practical steps to start healing after a difficult birth.
💡 “You don’t have to choose between being grateful and grieving. You’re allowed to hold both.” – Leslie Herhold
This is a conversation every mom deserves to hear. You are not alone, and your healing matters.
