Not limited to just the birth itself. In fairly recent times we are seeing more people seeking support to help to process what they have experienced during their birth and postpartum days and weeks. Wether you deem it as traumatic, challenging, or just not a pleasant experience, we are here to help you process what you experienced.
When it comes to the after effects of a challenging birth/postpartum experience, it could be a physical injury, a mental and emotional health shock, leaving you with pain, discomfort, low mood, trouble sleeping, intrusive thoughts or other. Please know that you deserve to, and can, feel better.
Trauma. Stop comparing your trauma with others. Stop doing that to yourself. Saying that the other person has been through more, so you just repress your own feelings. There's nothing like 'more painful'. Pain is pain. It's a small scar or a bigger one. You still bleed, don't you?
