Traumatic Birth Experience or
Medical Trauma

A traumatic birth or medical intervention that left you feeling powerless, scared, or violated can have a lasting impact—affecting your sense of control and safety long after the physical wounds have healed. These experiences often linger, affecting your sense of wellbeing and your connection to yourself and your loved ones. At Balanced Reflection, we specialize in trauma-informed care that acknowledges the depth of these experiences. We aim to create a safe and supportive environment where you can begin to process your experience, rebuild your sense of control, and reclaim your strength.

We use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and challenge the negative thought patterns and beliefs that may have developed from your birth experience. By reframing these thoughts, we work to reduce feelings of fear, shame, or self-blame, empowering you to reclaim a sense of control and self-compassion.

Mindfulness and grounding techniques are incorporated to manage anxiety and flashbacks, teaching you practical ways to stay present and connected to your body when overwhelming emotions arise. These strategies not only help you regain a sense of calm but also rebuild trust in your body and intuition.

Our goal is to help you find peace and resilience, allowing you to move forward with renewed confidence.

For those whose partners are struggling to support their trauma recovery, we offer guidance to help them understand the emotional complexities of birth trauma. By fostering open communication and shared understanding, we aim to strengthen the support system around you, ensuring that you are not navigating this healing journey alone.
