In the final episode of our Birthing Trauma Series, we are joined by Catherine Drohan, a postpartum coach, to explore the profound changes that occur in a woman’s brain after giving birth. We delve into how white and grey matter in the brain evolves, why the logical side of the brain and love increase, and the significance of asking for support during this transformative period. Catherine explains how hormonal shifts—like the drastic drop in progesterone—can lead to emotional turbulence, emphasizing why balancing emotion with logic is crucial for well-being. We also discuss the complete identity shift many women experience after childbirth, offering insight and support for navigating this life-changing journey. Highlights include:
