Birth Reflections & Birth Trauma Recovery

I have seen a real increase in the number of women suffering trauma post birth in the past few years due to Covid and the restrictions that came with that. Many women gave birth without the support of their partner and once home they were unable to have the support of family and friends. For this reason, I completed my training in Birth Trauma Recovery (TBR) using the 3 Step Rewind approach to add to my offering of Birth Debriefs.

I bring to these sessions my 25 years’ experience of supporting women during pregnancy and new motherhood. I often incorporate body and breath awareness work into my sessions.

It is common to feel highly emotional in the days and weeks that follow birth but when these emotions continue to replay and possibly resurface as flashbacks leaving you feeling anxious or hyper vigilant this isn’t normal. Until these traumatic events are fully acknowledged the memories can linger and cause a real sense of distress and overwhelm in your day -to-day life.

If you have experienced trauma within the perinatal period or have unresolved emotions linked to your fertility journey TBR 3 Step Rewind could help you.

What is Birth Trauma Recovery (TBR) 3 Step Rewind?

Devised by Alexandra Heath Traumatic Birth Recovery 3 Step Rewind is a gentle, safe, and effective treatment. It incorporates Rewind, a simple Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) technique. Working together over 3 sessions, this process activates your own natural ability to heal by using deep relaxation, guided use of your memory and the imagination.

By becoming free of the Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, it is possible to feel more positive about your situation and to begin enjoying parenthood. This technique releases the feelings associated with the birth so that it is possible to look back and remember the birth with neutral feelings, the birth can still be remembered but it no longer provokes anxiety.

Parenthood can still be challenging, and sometimes those challenges may be the result of the birth itself, but everything is much easier to deal with when there is a sense of peace and calm where there was once turmoil. This can be a truly transformational process as Rewind will lift the feelings about your birth and give you an opportunity to think differently about your future. You will realise you can choose different ways to respond to situations and you will release limiting beliefs. You will create a picture of how you would like to feel, what you will be doing, how you will be responding, what will have changed, and how your relationships would be different if they no longer had the feelings associated with any trauma you may have experienced in your baby’s birth, or during a perinatal experience.

**Please note, the 3 Step Rewind is not suitable for if you have been diagnosed with a mental health condition and you are receiving treatment for it, or if you are seeking a diagnosis. I am not able to provide medical help; I am not a clinician.
