Listen "Interview with Dr. Annie Brook: 3 Current Themes with Parents & Babies in Pregnancy, Birth, & Postpartum"
Episode Synopsis
Summary
In this conversation, Dr. Stephanie Dueger interviews Dr. Annie Brook, a world-class somatic and birth trauma therapist with 45 years of experience. They discuss three themes related to pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. The conversation covers major topics such as stress and overwhelm during pregnancy, common birth experiences like induction and C-sections, and transitioning into parenthood. Dr. Brook shares her personal journey into birth trauma healing and emphasizes the importance of seeking professional help and creating a supportive environment for new parents.
Takeaways
Pregnancy and new parenthood can be stressful at times, and it's important for expectant and new parents to manage their expectations and seek support.
Common birth themes include induction with Pitocin and the impact of C-sections on the mother and baby.
It can be helpful for parents to work on releasing guilt and regret surrounding their birth experience and focus on the present moment and the connection with their baby.
Reclaiming power and healing birth trauma can involve physical and emotional processes, such as completing the birth push and processing emotions through rituals.
The postpartum period can be challenging, and it's important for parents to prioritize self-care, seek support, and create a nurturing environment for themselves and their baby.
Parents should have open and honest conversations about their expectations and roles as they transition into parenthood.
