When you become a mother without the presence of your own mother, it's like navigating uncharted waters without a compass. There's a deep sense of loneliness that accompanies the journey, a longing for the nurturing embrace and wise counsel of a mother figure. Every milestone, every triumph, and every setback feels bittersweet, tinged with the absence of the one who should be there to share it all with you.

Birth trauma can leave lasting emotional scars, affecting not just the mother but the entire family. This is where therapy, specifically Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), can be a game-changer in the healing process so you can move forward without the incredibly painful impacts of trauma.
