Viac o knihe

On the other side of pregnancy and birth lies the journey of motherhood. But when you enter that phase of life burdened by a traumatic birth experience, you might find it harder to bond with your baby, connect with your new identity, and move forward in your relationships. Sometimes having a healthy baby and having survived the birth is not enough. And yet it’s not always obvious that a birth was problematic, or that it could be holding you back from healing. Giving Birth to Motherhood will help you explore what you envisioned for your birth, understand what actually happened, and write throughout the process to find catharsis. With easy journal prompts and short chapters, you will:• Make sense of what made the experience challenging• Know how to balance emotions with the logical events that occurred• Feel supported with tools on how to navigate what emerges as you write• Bring clarity to what you remember and what you want to remember• Have a story that you feel comfortable sharing• Understand how your story can change the system• And step into motherhood as a whole being
