The Discerning Mother

#41 | When Fear Keeps You From Healing - Your Body Holds The Story


Listen Later

You're smiling, but you're not okay. You're snapping at your kids, second-guessing every decision, and feeling disconnected from your body and your faith. What if I told you that your birth trauma isn't just in your mind, but it's stored in your nervous system?

In this episode, we're talking about the very real fear that keeps so many moms from facing their birth trauma, why avoidance makes perfect sense (but is costing you more than you realize), and how healing at the body level can transform not just your relationship with your birth story, but your entire life.

In This Episode:

  • Why 30% of women describe their birth as traumatic (and why most wait 15+ months to get help)
  • The science behind why your nervous system gets stuck in survival mode after birth trauma
  • How unresolved birth trauma ripples into your mothering, marriage, and mental health
  • Why talking about your trauma only gets you so far (and what actually works)
  • What it looks like to use your birth story as a diagnostic tool to regulate your nervous system
