How to Heal a Bad Birth is a gentle guide for women who have experienced a difficult, disappointing or traumatic birth, and want to make sense, make peace and move on. Written by the founders of Birthtalk.org™, this book works double-time as an indispensable resource for partners, family and health professionals, enabling them to offer meaningful support for a woman in this situation.
This ground-breaking self-help book takes the reader on a ‘choose your own adventure’ style of healing journey… because every woman’s path to healing will be different. The pages are filled with heartfelt quotes from women, facts and insights about birth trauma, and ideas for dealing with common emotions that arise such as sadness, guilt, feelings of failure, anger and partner issues. There are step-by-step tools for healing, plus immense support and compassion contained within these pages. Say the authors : “Since 2002 we’ve been working with women after a traumatic birth in our ‘Healing From Birth’ support sessions. Because we’ve see the impact birth can have, we are gentle with women’s hearts as they step forward and acknowledge that they are ready to take the journey to healing. And we are with you all the way.”
Often women are told to ‘just get over it’, or ‘healthy mother, healthy baby... that’s all that matters.’ We know it’s not that simple, and that your emotional health matters too.
This book offers ideas and tools to:
• explore & process the emotional impact of your birth
• strengthen your relationship with your partner
• reconnect with your child
• deal with feelings such as failure, guilt, sadness, or anger
• begin to plan for a better birth next time
The book is peppered with honest and heartfelt insights from women and men supported by Birthtalk.org™ over the years, as they share their experiences in their own healing journeys. Join the hundreds of women who have used these tools to make sense, make peace, and move on from a bad birth.
