Do You Need Help Recovering from Childbirth?
EMDR Can Help.
Despite our best efforts to prepare for childbirth, trauma might still occur during or afterward. EMDR can help bring healing after the unexpected happens.
Some mothers have a blissful pregnancy and look forward to an uneventful birth, only to experience unexpected complications. Their labor might be prolonged, the baby might experience unexpected challenges, or they might have to endure an unexpected episiotomy or C-section.
According to the American Psychological Association, up to 1 in 7 women are diagnosed with postpartum depression and 1-2% of women develop PTSD after childbirth. Research shows that trauma or difficult childbirth can have a negative effect on the bonding relationship between mother-child.
