Have you tried exercising after your trauma but found yourself feeling particularly triggered? If so, you are not alone and you are absolutely not broken. Today we have the one and only Parijat Desphande with Healthy High Risk Pregnancy on the podcast to talk all about exercise and trauma! With swimsuit season soon approaching, we know there is an increased pressure to “get our bodies back”. But for NICU mothers and women who have experienced trauma throughout their family building journey, exercise isn’t always that simple.

In this episode we cover:

  • Why might exercise trigger a trauma response in our bodies?
  • Why might “getting our body back” not be as simple for NICU mothers?
  • When might a mama know that a form of exercise isn’t quite right or isn’t honoring her body’s stored trauma?
  • What are some gentle forms of exercise that a mama could start with that would nourish her body if she is longing to take care of herself?

We hope this episode affirms the mamas in our sisterhood that your body is on your side. Most importantly? You are worthy and loved just as you are.
