In a world where 1 in 3 women describe their birth experience as traumatic and up to 1 in 10 go on to develop PTSD following childbirth, conversations like this are a necessity. Raising awareness and openly talking about ways to recognise and seek support. I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr Rosie Pajak, a clinical psychologist about all things birth trauma. We go into detail about the varying levels of trauma and what they look like, the importance of psychological safety, what makes birth traumatic, vicarious trauma, consequences of birth trauma in motherhood, ways we can prepare for another birth after trauma and healing. Dr Rosie is a wonderful clinical psychologist dedicated to helping families recover from birth trauma and this episode is full of wisdom for anyone preparing for a birth, birthing after trauma or even if you work with birthing women and families!
