    A traumatic birth can happen to anyone, and it’s much more common than we might think. Today’s show focuses on birth trauma, what it looks like, and how the healing journey can positively reshape someone’s parenting experience. There is help! Join us to learn more! Dr. Maya Weir is a clinical psychologist who specializes in birth trauma and the emotional transitions of early parenthood. Inspired by her own experience of becoming a parent, she understands how profound, overwhelming, and transformative this stage of life can be. Dr. Weir supports parents in making sense of their journey, healing from birth trauma, and cultivating grounded, connected ways to move forward. She offers short-term therapy for individuals and couples who are processing birth trauma, along with longer-term support for parents navigating the challenges of early parenthood. Based in Napa, CA, Dr. Weir provides virtual therapy throughout CA. Show Highlights: Birth trauma: an explanation and examples Many people go through birth trauma and don’t realize it until later. Invalidation compounds the original trauma. Common symptoms of birth trauma: triggering memories, anxiety, and relationship issues Strategies used to address birth trauma focus on somatic techniques. Expected results of therapy for birth trauma Understanding the intersection of different types of trauma Therapy for birth trauma addresses feelings of guilt, blame, and failure. Huge issues remain in the birthing system regarding how mothers are treated and spoken to in the sacred moments of childbirth. A partner can feel shame for “not showing up” to prevent birth trauma.
