Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy

Pauline now offers appointments for Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy.

Every birth experience is unique, and sometimes families are left feeling traumatised by their birth experience. For some, traumatic memories may linger, making it difficult to let go of intense emotions surrounding the event. These memories can replay in the background of their mind while trying to navigate the demands of parenting. Over time, these intrusive thoughts may become exhausting, triggering, and overwhelming. Many parents experience anxiety, stress, and struggle to process or understand the intensity of their feelings, which can impact early parenthood and infant feeding.

Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy is a safe, gentle, solution-focused therapy that helps to resolve the overwhelming emotions related to birth trauma in just a few sessions. This therapy allows parents to regain emotional balance, freeing them from intrusive thoughts and offering the mental clarity needed to focus on the transition to parenting and establishing a positive feeding routine.

If you’re ready to begin your recovery from pregnancy, birth, or feeding trauma, take the first step by reaching out to me. Let’s talk about how this therapy can support you on your journey to healing.

Birth Trauma Resolution Therapy (BTR) Session

The BTR process begins with an initial, in-depth session that builds trust, validates your experience, and guides you toward emotional healing. Follow-up sessions provide ongoing support and work to reduce the emotional charge attached to traumatic memories.

What’s Involved in a BTR Session?

  • Initial Session (90 minutes):

    • Building trust and rapport.

    • Listening to and validating your personal story of trauma.

    • Setting goals and agreeing on a plan for therapy.

    • Learning breathing techniques to calm your nervous system.

    • Guided meditation practice to begin the healing process.

    • You will receive a personal guided meditation to use between sessions.

    • Many clients begin to feel a shift after this session, as it may be the first time they truly feel heard and understood.

  • Second Session (60 minutes):

    • Introducing the Rewind Technique, the cornerstone of BTR.

    • This technique helps draw negative emotions away from your experience by guiding you into a deep relaxation state, allowing you to view the trauma from a calm, safe space.

    • The process helps the brain reduce negative emotions and opens the possibility for positive feelings to emerge.

What’s Involved in a BTR Session?

  • Subsequent Sessions (60 minutes):

    • Focus on building confidence, resilience, and trust.

    • You’ll develop tools to help you move forward without being emotionally triggered by past traumatic memories.

    • The goal is to help you reimagine a more positive future, free from the emotional weight of your trauma.
