The power and beauty of story telling with Dr Tanya Cotler PHD

I’m talking to my lovely friend Tanya aka Dr. Tanya Cotler, PhD CPsych She is @drcotler on Instagram, a psychologist specializing in maternal wellness and infant development as well as a mother of 3 and an all-round lovely human. We met through Instagram and she has been a great support to me as well as a true friend. This week we aren’t sharing her story but after last week’s share of Amy’s story-  where we unpacked a lot. It hit home for me the importance of storytelling and bearing witness. So with that being said, we will be talking about the power of both,  from the perspective of birth stories and this podcast. Also how scientifically the processes can benefit us. So I guess you can say this episode is about the power of storytelling. I loved having this conversation with Tanya and I think for anyone whatever their experience there is a lot to be gained to listening to Tanya's wise words and advice. I’ve linked below where you can get help should you be struggling with trauma, loss, motherhood and any type of mood disorder. Happy listening.
