Birth Trauma Therapy

After the birth of your baby do you experience ?
· Distressing vivid & sudden memories
· Nightmares or insomnia
· Panic attacks
· Feeling always on guard or hyper-vigilant
· Avoiding of reminders of the birth
· Difficulties bonding to your baby

Who:  Any parent who might perceive the birth experience of their child  as traumatic or distressing. Birth trauma is in the eye of the   beholder. What is important is if it is distressing to YOU, than you  can get support to help process your experience and facilitate  healing.
