⚠️ Trigger Warning: Birth Trauma & Loss of Autonomy

When we talk about birth trauma, this is what we mean.

It’s not just about emergencies or medical complications.

It’s about how a woman was made to feel — silenced, powerless, dismissed.

These words come from real mothers.

They trusted the system, and were left feeling broken.

We must listen. We must do better.

💬 If these quotes resonate with you, you are not alone — and what happened to you matters.

You deserve space to process, grieve, and reclaim your power.
💛 I support women who are navigating trauma, loss, and the aftermath of birth experiences that left deep emotional wounds.

✨ If this speaks to you, DM “SUPPORT” or share with someone who needs to know they’re not alone.

When you’ve experienced a trauma (big or small), your nervous system remembers. It’s designed to protect you from future harm, even if the danger has passed.
⠀⠀
That’s why certain sounds, smells, places, or moments can feel like you’re right back there again.
⠀⠀
The body and brain are always scanning for patterns. So when something reminds you—consciously or not—of a past trauma, it can react as if it’s happening now.
⠀⠀
This is especially true for women navigating medical trauma, birth trauma, or pregnancy loss. A new pregnancy, a medical procedure, or even a doctor’s office can stir up a trauma response you didn’t expect.
⠀⠀
✨ The good news? Trauma can be understood, processed, and softened. You’re not broken—and you’re not alone.
⠀⠀
👉 If this resonates, send me a DM or comment “SUPPORT” and I’ll share how I work with women to find calm, clarity, and confidence again.

TFMR (termination for medical reasons) is a kind of loss that most people don’t talk about—and because of that, it’s often misunderstood, minimized, or even judged.

Here are a few real truths:

It’s not a “choice” in the way people think.

Grief is compounded by guilt, shame, and silence.

Many parents feel like they don’t “deserve” to mourn—and that’s heartbreaking.

It’s still birth. It’s still loss.

Support is hard to find—but necessary to heal.

Swipe to read more if this resonates. You are not alone, and you are allowed to grieve this loss fully and deeply.

💛 If you’ve walked this path and are looking for support that understands the weight of this grief, DM “SUPPORT” to connect.

Birth trauma is real, and so is your ability to heal. I help women process their experiences, reduce anxiety, and reclaim their sense of safety using a compassionate, evidence-based approach.
✨ How We Work Together:
✔ Processing Your Birth Story: We explore your experience at your own pace—whether through journaling, talking it through piece by piece, or guided reflection.
✔ Hypnotherapy for Healing: When appropriate, hypnotherapy helps reframe distressing memories and bring a sense of peace to your birth experience.
✔ Exposure Therapy for Anxiety: If medical settings, certain conversations, or reminders of birth feel overwhelming, we work through these triggers gradually in a safe space.
✔ Increasing Self-Care: Small, intentional self-care practices help rebuild emotional resilience and restore balance.
✔ Setting Boundaries & Reducing Triggers: We work on protecting your peace by identifying what feels safe and supportive as you heal.
💛 You don’t have to carry this alone. Healing is possible, and support is available.
📩 If birth trauma is affecting your mental health, DM me or visit my website to learn more about how we can work together. You deserve to feel whole again.

Anxiety, grief, and trauma don’t just live in the mind—they stay in the body. When stress builds, the nervous system can get stuck in high alert mode, making it hard to feel safe, think clearly, or even breathe normally.

💡 Before trying any coping tool, the first step is always acknowledging the anxiety. Instead of fighting it, try saying:

✨ “This is anxiety. My body is reacting, but I am safe.”
Once you name it, try one of these nervous system resets:

🧊 The Ice Dunk Reset – Cold exposure activates the vagus nerve to quickly calm panic or flashbacks. (See reel from earlier today 😉)

😮‍💨 The Sighing Trick – A double inhale + slow exhale helps discharge stress and lower heart rate.

👐 The Weighted Hand Trick – Pressure on the chest signals safety to the nervous system, helping with breath control.

🧠 The “What If?” Flip – Reframes anxious thought spirals and challenges worst-case thinking.

🚶‍♀️ The “Change the Scene” Trick – A simple shift in environment can reset the brain and disrupt anxious loops.

Anxiety after birth trauma, loss, or major life transitions is real—but you don’t have to stay stuck in it. These tools won’t erase grief or trauma, but they can help bring moments of relief.

👉 Which one are you trying first? Drop a 🧊 in the comments if you’re going for the ice dunk!

📩 Need deeper support? DM me “CALM” to explore therapy (GA) or coaching (US) for anxiety, birth trauma, or loss. 💛

Maybe it’s been months… maybe years. And yet, certain moments still feel like they just happened yesterday.

Birth trauma doesn’t always look like what we expect. Sometimes it’s replaying the experience in your head, avoiding certain places, or feeling anxious about future pregnancies.

You’re not overreacting. You’re not ‘too sensitive.’ Trauma stays in the body until we give it space to process.

💛 Therapy might be helpful if… you’re struggling with deep emotional distress, PTSD symptoms, or feel stuck in trauma responses that impact daily life.

💡 Coaching might be helpful if… you’re looking for guidance, tools, and structured support to regain confidence and move forward after a traumatic birth.

📩 DM me ‘BIRTH’ if you need a safe space to talk about your experience.”
