Perinatal Trauma Therapy

Perinatal trauma is more than just the stress of pregnancy or childbirth—it’s the emotional, mental, and physical aftermath that can leave you feeling like you’ve been through a war. It's not just about having a "hard birth" or a loss; it’s the long-lasting effects that stay with you long after the dust settles. If you’ve experienced birth trauma, pregnancy loss, or infertility, or if you’re just scared as hell about the idea of bringing a baby into the world, you might have perinatal trauma without even realizing it.

But it doesn’t stop there. Sometimes, your childhood wounds pop up right when you’re trying to navigate motherhood, making everything feel even more overwhelming. You might find yourself terrified of repeating patterns from your past or unsure if you’re "good enough" to break the cycle. If you were raised in a chaotic or unsafe environment, those old fears can rear their ugly heads when you become a parent yourself. Suddenly, you’re worried about your own parenting abilities, whether you'll be able to protect your child, or if you're going to screw things up like you think your parents did. It’s a lot.

But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to stay this way. Therapy is a powerful tool to help you process all of it—whether it’s birth trauma, the fear of being a "bad parent," or the lingering effects of childhood wounds. You don’t have to keep carrying this weight around, trying to be everything to everyone while ignoring the trauma that’s affecting your mental and emotional well-being. You deserve to heal, to regain control, and to trust yourself and your parenting instincts again.
