Perfectionism & Traumatic Birth Experiences
from Perfectly Imperfect
Trigger Warning; talk of trauma and pregnancy lossBirth trauma is a complex issue in it's own right.But there are so many layers added on top of the birth trauma experience, for people with perfectionism.Your need to be in control, always be 10 steps ahead and to do things right is put to the test when in a birth experience where things are largely out of your hands.And antenatal education only really teaches you to stay calm, but doesn't teach you to how to let go of your perfectionist habits, need to be in control or your fears and worries, in order to stay calm and emotionally in control.In this episode I dig into how your perfectionist habits feed into how you feel about your birth experience, and what you can do to move past those difficult feelings.Formerly The Maternal Wellbeing FoundationFollow Me on Instagram: @riaolivercoachingFind Out More: www.riaolivercoaching.com'Reset' Programme: www.riaolivercoaching/reset-perfectionist-supportBook a FREE 1-1 call: https://calendly.com/ria-oliver-coaching-and-therapy/45min
