how will it help me?
We explore a birds-eye view of your experience then zoom in on the difficult parts. We will look at your expectations and beliefs about pregnancy and childbirth. We gently allow your feelings to be shared about what's happened or didn't happen.
I will guide you into the next part of the session which will feel focused. You will begin to see how your experience is affecting you and then discover ways to make manageable changes. We will go after what you really want and identify your resilience parts. Call it post-traumatic growth but you will leave learning something new about yourself.
The founder of 'Birth Story Medicine' Pam England says the sessions have a "compassionate and sophisticated approach which focuses on transformation rather than trauma." They can include narrative psychology, mythology, art and an understanding of birth in our culture.
