About this event
MOTHERS SUPPORT GROUP: TRANSITION TO MOTHERHOOD AFTER TRAUMATIC BIRTH EXPERIENCES
with Erica Lyon
Maternal health & childbirth educator Erica Lyon will lead a four session mothers support group for moms who have recently had difficult and/or traumatic birth experiences.
Sessions will focus on the sharing of birth stories with a focus on providing tools and guidance for postpartum recovery, processing emotions, and connecting via shared experiences to nurture the healing process. Birth is a powerful transition to a new life stage. Finding a way forward with our stories and experience supports our healing and identity growth as a new mom.
If you have experienced a traumatic birth, you are not alone. Birth trauma is much more common than generally discussed. Join a group of compassionate peers in this step towards healing while forging your support community.
"What is Traumatic Childbirth?
If a woman experiences or perceives that she and/or her baby were in danger of injury or death to during childbirth, her birth is defined as traumatic –psychologically,physically, or both. Usually, she experiences extreme sense of helplessness, isolation, lack of care, fear, and anxiety (Beck, 2004a). Traumatic childbirth occurs in asmany as 25 – 34 per cent of all births. Approximately one-third of those women may develop Post traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)." from www. pattch.org
