What Is Birth Trauma And How To Heal | 20 Sep 16, 2018

Show notes

Studies show about 30% of people who have given birth report they've experienced birth trauma. People most often associate birth trauma with injury or the loss of an infant or mother. In recent years, however, the definition has broadened to include emotional harm. If a person feels stripped of their dignity during childbirth that is a form of birth trauma.

Cristen Pascucci, the founder of Birth Monopoly and the documentary Mother May I, joins my podcast for an in-depth conversation about birth trauma. She not only answers the question, what is birth trauma, but talks about how people can heal from traumatic birth.

These conversations are not easy to have, and this episode of the Plus Mommy Podcast is not for everyone. Yet, we need to continue to have uncomfortable discussions to bring awareness to birth trauma, postpartum depression, and PTSD.

Our stories are powerful, and they matter!
