​It is not uncommon to experience difficult feelings following birth. It might be that you experienced trauma during your pregnancy, birth or in the postnatal period. You may be a birth partner or care giver. Sometimes we are left with unwanted thoughts we don’t know how to process after a difficult birth. These experiences can often leave people with symptoms of anxiety, you may feel isolated and sometimes even depressed. Some people can experience flash backs of the events that happened, this can lead to sleep disruption. All these things can contribute to you feeling hypersensitive or low in mood.  You might have a low tolerance and wish to avoid people and gatherings. It can cause feelings of panic, not wanting to discuss the memory, and an overall reduction in your quality of life. 
 
The Traumatic Birth Recovery three step rewind treatment is a safe and gentle approach designed to help you to unlock the physiological responses to trauma symptoms attached to a memory and help you to move on using deep relaxation and visualization techniques. They are found to be very effective in a short period of time. They help you to significantly reduce the physical responses you are having which are attached to the difficult memories. It does not erase your memory but allows you to store your memory in a longer-term part of your brain, so you won’t be triggering your flight and flight responses.
 
It is suitable for anyone who has experienced emotional or psychological symptoms because of traumatic events that have unfolded during pregnancy birth or in the postnatal period.

This treatment is NOT suitable for someone with a pre-existing mental health condition.
 
If you are you looking to relieve these symptoms in order for you to look forward to a future without them. I am a qualified health professional that has an in-depth knowledge of birth, and I am trained in Birth Trauma. I have completed the 3 step Rewind training with the highly respected and Ofqual recognised Trauma Birth Recovery College in Perinatal health and wellbeing. https://traumaticbirthrecovery.com/
 
If you are you planning or expecting another baby and your memories of a previous birth still play out in your mind and affect your thoughts on your future birth experience, this could also really help in your preparation for a positive birth.

 What to expect during the treatment over 3 sessions spaced over 4 weeks.
 
Session One:  Hearing your experience should you wish to talk about it. Understanding how you would like to feel once these symptoms are lifted. Using special techniques together we create a visual future and then using deep relaxation, using breath work and guided relaxation, you are then encouraged to imagine yourself in a more comfortable future. (this is recorded and given to you to practice at home in between session one and two).    ( Allow 90 Minutes)
 
Session Two (one week later): Explanation of 3 step rewind technique, guided Deep relaxation and rewind technique where you will be carefully guided back to your memory and given tools using your imagination to remember your birth whilst freeing those feelings of anxiety. Although it might sound scary to remember your trauma, you will be carefully guided through the three-step process which is safe whilst you are in a deeply relaxed state. You can stop the process at any point should you feel the need to. ( Allow 60 Minutes)
                                                                           
Session Three (10 days to two weeks after last session):  An opportunity to talk about how you have felt since the last session and positive reflections. Consolidation of sessions and building confidence for a more positive future. (Allow 30-60 minutes)

This treatment is ideally done face to face from the comfort of my home in Chipping Norton. However, if required, I can offer it over zoom.
 
Investment of £270 (Three hours of therapy in total).

£450 (for couples treated individually 3 hours of therapy each)

Testimonial
 
Father of first baby
 
“Emma so beautifully guided my partner and I through the Hypnobirthing course. Emma creates such a welcoming and calm space to be in and with her wealth of experience and knowledge (from being a midwife in the past) is able to provide you with all the information you will need in the preparation of delivering your child into this world. The evening sessions we had gave us such a rich experience. Emma guides you through the meditations with ease and flow and you feel very safely held by her.

Our birth didn’t quite go the way we had planned. This is also something that Emma is able to prepare you for. Our birth became a medical emergency which left me with some very difficult experiences to deal with, as the birth partner, I witnessed some very challenging moments. After being so well held by Emma in the lead up to the birth I knew I could call her to talk through what had happened and Emma suggested I try the Three Step Rewind program to help me understand what had happened in a different way.

I cannot thank Emma enough for this. Emma guided me through this program designed to help you process a challenging experience with the same expertise and care and I feel so much better for it. Emma’s generosity of spirit and her goal to help you navigate your way through this time of transition feeling empowered is beyond amazing.

I just cannot recommend highly enough”.
