In this episode of Becoming Moms, Dr. Sterling is joined by Kayleigh Summers, licensed clinical social worker and creator of https://www.instagram.com/thebirthtrauma_mama/ (@thebirthtrauma_mama). They sit down for an incredible conversation about preventing and navigating birth trauma -both coming from vastly different birth trauma experiences of their own. Birth trauma is not always preventable and does not rest solely on the individual to manage. They talk about the many aspects that can contribute to trauma at birth and the steps we can take to empower birthing people.
Kayleigh is passionate about the ways in which early treatment of birth trauma can change the trajectory of healing for an individual and their entire family. Check out her resources on both her instagram and website!
