Dealing With Birth Trauma: How to Recognise It, Navigate the System, and Start to Heal

from The Motherhood Clinic · host The Motherhood Clinic

In this episode, we pick up where we left off with Dr. Emma Thornton - doctor, former obstetrician, GP specialising in women's health, and founder of Cocoon - and move from understanding birth trauma into what you can actually do about it. We cover how to recognise the signs in yourself or someone you care for, when to seek help and what that looks like, and how to make the most of the support that's already available through the NHS. Emma also introduces Cocoon - a digitally delivered, clinically guided platform built to give women access to birth trauma support on their own terms and in their own time. This is part two of two - part one covers what birth trauma is and why it matters.
