Did you freeze during your labour or C-section and later wonder:
“Why didn’t I say no?”
“Why didn’t I advocate for myself?”
“Why did I just go along with it?”

In this episode of The C-Section Healing Space, I talk about freeze and fawn trauma responses during birth and how your nervous system may have been trying to protect you.

After having 3 C-sections in 5 years, including a traumatic epidural experience where I truly thought I was dying, I now understand that what happened in the birth room was not a personality flaw, it was a learned survival response.

In this video we talk about:
• Freeze and fawn trauma responses in birth
• Why many women struggle to advocate during labour
• Nervous system survival patterns
• Birth trauma and people pleasing
• Why your body “shuts down” when feeling unsafe
• Traumatic epidural experiences
• Intuition during labour and birth
• Gentle nervous system healing after traumatic birth

I also share practical ways to begin helping your body feel safe again through grounding, tapping and reconnection practices.

This is a calm, soul deep healing space for women recovering emotionally, physically and energetically after C-section.
