In this episode I discuss with Kelowna based midwife and clinical counsellor, Laura Cavaliero:

• Each person experiences their birth uniquely. What is beautiful to one may feel traumatizing to another.
• Labour and birth factors that may lead to trauma
• Possible signs and symptoms that may indicate one is experiencing the effects of birth trauma
• Benefits of revisiting birth or going through the events with care provider
• If your provider doesn’t offer to review the details of your birth, ways you can ask.

Laura holds an MA degree in Counselling with extensive experience working with women/birthing people in the perinatal population. She supports grief processing after pregnancy/infant loss, birth trauma, and the emotional adjustments of early parenthood. Her lived experience working in the healthcare field gives her a unique perspective about burnout, vicarious trauma, and compassion fatigue, and she is passionate about supporting healthcare workers in moving into healing and resilience as they bring the best versions of themselves to all spheres of life. Laura also helps folks with a range of life challenges, including depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma, as well as supporting personal growth and spiritual exploration. Laura practices from a trauma-informed foundation and utilizes modalities such as psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, and Emotionally Focused therapy.
