Therapy for Birth Trauma

Helping New Moms in New Hampshire

Do you keep replaying scenes from your birth?

Maybe it keeps you up at night, or perhaps you stay busy during the day so that you can avoid repeated thoughts of what happened. You may feel disconnected from your baby, or always irritable with your partner. Perhaps you’re feeling as if you were not cut out for motherhood because “you couldn’t even birth correctly”. 

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:

  • Overwhelmed by the need to control everyday tasks

  • Always feeling on guard and alert, no matter what the situation is.

  • Struggling to stay focused on work/daily tasks

Birth Trauma Therapy Can Help

It may feel impossible now, but you can find peace. You can enjoy motherhood. You are cut out to be a mother…And I can help you get there.

Birth trauma therapy helps you do 3 things:

  1. Process the trauma so you can regain the power you lost during your birth. 

  2. Connect with your baby and your partner.

  3. Feel Safe in your body so that you can feel confident in yourself.

I’ll help through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to Birth Trauma comes from a place of sensitivity to trauma. I believe that you were meant to be a mother and you can thrive in motherhood.

It’s time to find peace.

I can help you get there.

  • Birth trauma is personal and any event that caused you to feel unsafe, scared for your life or your baby's life. Birth trauma can also be caused by feel invalidated and unheard. Birth is a vulnerable time and if someone has struggled to speak their needs, ask for help prior in life when faced with authority figures this pattern can arise again during labor. The more an individual feels unheard the more birth trauma can occur which may leave a lasting mark on ones ability to trust themselves throughout parenthood.

  • I work with women on a weekly or every other week basis. I find that seeing clients more often helps keep the course of therapy closer to 3-6 months.

  • You don’t have to always talk about your trauma. In fact, until we establish a therapeutic relationship and I ensure that you have some skills in place (that we develop together) I won’t ask you to tell me the deep stuff about your trauma. You may never tell me ever detail- that is ok. There are modes of therapy that can help you move past birth trauma without reliving it ever single session. I know you already think about those events far too often and for far too long.

  • Reach out to schedule your free 20-minute consultation with me. During the call, I will answer any questions you may have, learn more about what you’re struggling with, and tell you about myself. We will get you scheduled for your intake appointment if we think we will be a good fit.
