Ep 31: How Sexual Trauma Shows Up in Pregnancy & Childbirth

Going through loss or infertility is difficult on its own. And having a history of sexual trauma adds even more layers of triggers and emotions to work through. Because these triggers and emotions intensify during pregnancy and childbirth, I want you to be aware of them. When they're no longer operating in the background, you get to take your power back!    In this episode, I walk you through: What triggers and emotions may show up in pregnancy, while you're giving birth, and in hospital settings in general  What you can do to overcome triggers/heavy emotions and feel safer within your body Forms of support you can enlist to increase the chances of your birth being a healing experience (vs a retraumatizing one)   **Please share this episode with someone who you think might benefit from it.
