Trauma in Childbirth Can Stay With You
For some women, childbirth is experienced as a happy, gratifying, and empowering experience. But for others, it can be a traumatic event associated with feelings of being out of control, powerlessness, confusion, and fear.
I specialize in the treatment of psychological difficulties following traumatic birth experiences and have the knowledge to treat a range of issues that can develop following a difficult birth including:
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Grief and loss
- Struggling relationship with baby
- Anxieties about parenting
- Psychosexual and relationship differences
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Fears about giving birth again
- Poor body image, low self-esteem
