Birth Trauma: We need to talk about it

Send us Fan MailToday I’m joined by clinical psychologist Rosanna Pajak. She specializes in perinatal mental health, Rosanna has worked in clinical and community settings across the UK and Australia, including specialist trauma services and women's health services. As an experienced clinician and a mum herself, Rosanna is passionate about helping mum's heal from traumatic experiences during the process of childbirth.  She shares what birth trauma is and what are the risk factors. We discuss how it can impact a woman and her family. We explore what can be done to help improve the birth experience and ways to help women heal after. We also discuss how following pregnancies and births can be effected.  Please be advised that this episode comes with a trigger warning as we do discuss significant challenges that can be faced after birth.  If this is triggering for you, please reach out to the resources we have included below.LINKS:Rosanna's WebsiteRosie’s Instagram @Dr_Rosie_PsychologistRosie's course: The Birth Healing Collective PANDA WebsiteBeyond BluePreparing for birth Pelvic health checklistFree 7 Day Trial Pregnancy WorkoutsFree 7 Day Trial Postnatal WorkoutsFitNest Mama WebsiteInstagram @fitnestmamaPrevious Episode Referenced:EP #34: Unpacking Your Birth Story with Helen Nightingale https://www.fitnestmama.comLINKS:Preparing for birth Pelvic health checklistFree 7 Day Trial Pregnancy WorkoutsFree 7 Day Trial Postnatal WorkoutsFitNest Mama WebsiteInstagram @kathbaquie.physio1:1 Consultation with Physio Kath at Hatched House** This podcast has general information only.
