This week’s episode is a re-release with Dr. Rebecca Moore. Becca is a consultant perinatal psychiatrist with over 20 years experience in treating the psychological aspects of pregnancy, birth and early motherhood. Her clinical expertise covers PTSD, birth trauma, anxiety, depression, and the mum-baby bond. She is also training to be an Integrative Practioner - which is a healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person, including all aspects of lifestyle.

It was great to chat with Becca and learn more about this vitally important area and the work she does.

What we cover in this episode:

- What birth trauma is and how we know if we need help
- What we can do to prepare for birth
- The importance of normalising psychologically challenging births
- The power of journaling and other ways we can start to process our birth experiences

I hope you enjoy the episode and if you want to talk directly to Becca about anything we cover in the episode, she is happy to respond to direct messages on Instagram @drrebeccamoore.

As always, we continue the conversation over on Instagram, so once you’ve listened to the episode, come and join me there.
