154. Kate White: How the birthing process impacts the nervous system and how birth trauma left me in a state of freeze.
Manage episode 445267122 series 2785877
In today’s episode, I’m going deep… and I get a little emotional. You ready?!
Today, the wonderful Kate White is hanging out with us to help me unpack my birth trauma and to also help you gain insight into how labor and delivery impacts the birthing parent’s nervous system. Kate is an award-winning educator and an advanced bodyworker. She is trained in somatic therapies, prenatal and perinatal somatic health, lactation, brain development, infant mental health, and she has specialized in parent-baby dyad care using somatic prevention and trauma healing approaches for 25 years.
She's also a mother of two children, holds a BA and MA in Communication, is a Registered Craniosacral Therapist in the Biodynamic Craniosacral method, and is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner. Her work combines somatic trauma healing, energetic therapies, bodywork, pediatric therapies, and education about the nervous system to help give families with babies and small children the best possible start.
In today’s episode, we talk about…
- My birth trauma and how it led to nervous system dysregulation postpartum
- Why it’s important to educate providers, midwives, and doulas about the freeze state
- Why Kate likes to unpack early life traumas when helping you with your birth trauma
- How the birth parent’s autonomic response is impacted based on how they're treated during the birthing process
- How the vulnerability of labor and delivery tends to lead to pleasing and appeasing
- Why we need to normalize nervous system responses during the birthing process
- How your baby has a story to tell too
- How our need to do things by ourselves is a survival strategy that we relied on as a child
- Why new parents need more support postpartum
- The impact social media can have on your nervous system
- How Kate helps me disrupt locked-up nervous system energy
…and so much more!
