Birth and lactation work is sacred, intimate, and relational and because of that, it will expose every protective pattern you’ve ever developed to feel safe.
Not because you’re doing it wrong but because this work asks you to show up with your whole self.
Here are some of the patterns that tend to get activated:
✨ The Control Pattern
When a client chooses a different path and you feel personally rejected or threatened.
✨ The Rescuer Pattern
When you feel responsible for “saving” a feeding journey — even more than the parent wants.
✨ The Perfectionism Pattern
When a latch doesn’t improve quickly and you interpret it as proof you’re not good enough.
✨ The People-Pleasing Pattern
When you avoid hard conversations because you don’t want to upset anyone.
✨ The Boundary-Blurring Pattern
When you answer late-night messages because rest feels unsafe.
✨ The Comparison Pattern
When another provider’s success makes you shrink.
And the list goes on…
But all of these are protective patterns, not failures. They’re loyal parts of your nervous system that learned how to keep you safe long before you entered this field.
Rewilding them means:
🌿 getting curious instead of ashamed
🌿 noticing where the protector shows up in your body
🌿 letting it know you’re safe enough now
🌿 leading from relationship instead of perfection
🌿 remembering you don’t have to be the expert — just the companion
If this work is activating you…
it’s because you’re a human doing deeply human work.
