Medical Trauma Support Podcast Season 2, Episode 1- The Impacts of Birth Trauma with Shelley Freeman

Join us for episode one of a three part series on birth trauma. I talk with Shelley, a therapist who works with moms, about the prevalence of birth trauma, some factors that increase the likelihood of birth trauma and how healing is possible. Birth Trauma is more common than you may realize and can have a significant impact on the postpartum period, the mother’s mental health and the baby’s attachment. Becoming aware of what birth trauma is, the symptoms of birth trauma and how to reduce the risks of birth trauma is so important for pregnant people as well as those who care for them.
