Why This Training Matters
Many birthing people have experienced previous trauma, which can emerge during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Without trauma-informed care, standard interventions may inadvertently retraumatize clients. This training equips you with practical skills to prevent trauma activation, respond effectively when it occurs, and support your clients through vulnerable perinatal experiences.
Learn evidence-based approaches to support clients through pregnancy and childbirth when previous trauma experiences are present. In this essential 90 minute webinar Michelle will cover:
- Practical "Trauma CPR" techniques for acute trauma activation during pregnancy, birth, or postpartum care
- Creating personalized, trauma-informed birth plans that empower clients and increase feelings of safety and agency
- Developing skills in recognizing trauma activation patterns specific to the perinatal context
- Implementing effective real-time interventions for clients experiencing flashbacks, dissociation, or acute trauma responses
- How previous reproductive trauma affects current pregnancy experiences and birth expectations
- Approaches for empowering clients with trauma histories through trauma-informed language and practices
- Self-care strategies and building resilience as a practitioner witnessing and supporting clients through potentially triggering experiences
- Skills to prevent vicarious trauma in your practice
