When birth doesn’t go how you expected... and you can’t move
You might look like you’re coping — but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or not quite yourself.
- You replay parts of the birth
- You feel on edge or emotional
- You avoid thinking about what happened
- You feel disconnected from yourself or your baby
- You keep telling yourself, “I should be over this by now.”
You’re not weak.
You’re not overreacting.
And you’re not the only one who feels this way.
Birth trauma doesn’t always look obvious.
Sometimes it looks like:
- being constantly on edge
- feeling numb or disconnected
- avoiding reminders of birth
- guilt for not feeling how you “should”
Your nervous system is still holding onto what happened.
That’s why:
- your body still reacts
- your mind replays it
- and you can’t just “move on”
This isn’t something you have to force.
It can be gently processed and released.
How I Help You Recover
I combine three gentle, effective approaches:
1. EMDR
Safely process what happened
2. Nervous System Regulation
Help your body feel safe again
3. Hypnosis
Gently release stored emotional patterns
You don’t have to relive everything.
We work gently, at your pace.
You stay in control the whole time.
