Why Everyone can Benefit from a Birth Debriefing
Birth Debriefing: Understanding Your Journey
Bringing your baby into the world is an extraordinary experience, filled with unique moments and emotions. Whether your birth was exactly as you envisioned, or it left you feeling disappointed or even traumatised, the aftermath can leave you with big feelings to process. Sometimes, it’s not just the birth itself, but the events leading up to it or immediately after that can have a lasting impact. Birth debriefing offers a safe, supportive space for you to explore and make sense of it all.
What to Expect
These birth debriefing sessions are structured in three parts:
Share Your Story
Safe Space: Begin by sharing your birth story in a safe and supportive environment.
Clarity: Ask questions and gain a better understanding of what happened and why.
Timeline Reset Exercise
Emotional Processing: Engage in Timeline Reset, a guided exercise designed to process and lighten the heavy feelings often left behind in the subconscious mind after significant events to help you feel lighter. This can help to take the emotional charge out of the memories.
Tools for Healing
Empowerment: Receive further support and tools for ongoing processing and healing.
This can be a profound and deep process, so we recommend holding it over three sessions. However, for those who prefer, it can also be conducted in a single extended session (allow up to 3 hours).
Your sessions will be led by Emma, a dedicated perinatal mental health nurse with a background in midwifery and maternal and infant health. Emma’s specialised skills in birth debriefing, matrescence, and postnatal emotional support ensure that you are in caring and capable hands throughout your journey.
Why Birth Debriefing?
Processing your birth story can help to bring emotional clarity and healing, helping you to feel empowered and confident as a mother and strengthen your connection to your baby, and gain valuable insights and growth.
