I'm Charlie and I am a qualified and fully insured Birth Trauma Resolution Practitioner, trained by the incredible psychotherapist Jenny Mullan- this is the only course teaching treatment for Birth Trauma which is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives (RCM). Helping mothers and their families is still my absolute passion, I'm determined to help women feel validated, safe and able to move for
ward in their life after a traumatic birth experience. Unfortunately, many women do not realise they are struggling with the symptoms of trauma, so they do not receive a diagnosis and/or professional help. Or, they may receive a misdiagnosis of Postnatal Depression (although the affect affects of trauma can lead to PND too). For women struggling with the after effects of a traumatic birth , I can help you to feel better within 2-4 sessions. Perhaps you are:
- Struggling with flashbacks
- You have upsetting memories about your birth
- You feel very anxious and panicky when something reminds you of your birth.
- You may feel disconnected to the people close to you, such as close family and friends. These are all symptoms of trauma- potentially PTSD, which can be treated. How will I be able to help you?
- Providing a safe space for you to talk about your birth in as much (or as little) detail as you need to. All feelings are valid and respected.
- Questionnaires will be provided so I can get a better understanding on how your experience is affecting you.
- Guided relaxation during the session. I will also provide you with a download to take home with you.
- Looking at breathing techniques to help calm the nervous system and aid recovery from trauma.
- I will teach about why you feel the way you do after trauma.
- Looking holistically at your life to see how you can improve your emotional wellbeing- do you have needs that aren’t being met? Trauma can leave individuals with low self esteem, motivation and confidence to do the things they enjoy.
- We work on something called the ‘Rewind Technique’. This is safe and non-invasive. It will help to remove the strong negative emotions, and the lasting trauma symptoms associated with your birth. You will be able to think about your birth without the attached distressing emotions.
- I will help to rebuild your confidence again so that you can look forward a the future. If I feel that you need further therapy for complex trauma, I will treat the birth trauma initially and refer you on to appropriate services if needed. If you would like further information, have any questions or would like to book onto a session with me, please drop me an email : Charlie.timetohealbirth@gmail.com
I look forward to hearing from you.
