Episode 9 - Melissa Healing births - Birth trauma, uterine inversion, informed consent
Description
In this episode, I follow up on the previous interview about birth trauma by discussing healing birth trauma with Melissa, a healing birth specialist. Melissa shares her personal experience of traumatic birth and how it led her to work with women on healing their own birth experiences. We discuss the importance of support and understanding for women who have experienced birth trauma, the long journey of healing, and the impact of birth imprints on future generations. We explore how friends and family can best support someone who has gone through birth trauma. The conversation emphasizes the need for women to trust their intuition and take responsibility for their birth experiences. The conversation concludes with advice on navigating sex postpartum after a traumatic birth.
