Decoded: The First Year | Episode 7 | Birth Trauma That Doesn’t Show Up Right Away | DRSCL


Listen Later

Today we’re digging into a topic that a lot of people avoid — or at best, misunderstand:
Birth trauma.

Not the kind that shows up in the delivery room as an emergency.
I’m talking about the kind that shows up later —
👉 in your baby’s body
👉 in their movement
👉 in their sleep
👉 or in the way they settle (or don’t)

So let’s talk about what birth trauma actually is — what it’s not — and how you can recognise the signs without spiralling.


Now, before we move on, I want to acknowledge that there is one final and super important way that birth trauma shows up later

👉 and that is in your body as the mum

We touched on this in episode 2 about the overloaded, overwhelmed and ultimately neurologically dysregulated mum….and I promise it will not be the last episode we do on that topic!
