Description
Birth Shock: A Clear Explanation for Recovering from Birth Trauma If you're struggling to move on from your birth experience, even if it seems like others have 'lucky' circumstances, this book is for you. Perinatal clinical psychologist Mia Scotland offers a clear and concise explanation of what can be harmful about birth, how birth trauma affects mothers, fathers, and healthcare professionals, and why it's becoming increasingly common. In Birth Shock, you'll find a psychological discussion of birth trauma, its causes, and practical tips on recovery. The book draws on knowledge of trauma, PTSD, and the maternity system to help you let go of guilt, self-blame, or confusion. This guide is designed to support anyone affected by a difficult birth, whether it was traumatic or not. By understanding what birth trauma is and how it can affect you, you'll be able to take steps towards recovery and healing.
