Episode 14: Fear in birth and what we can do about it

Once upon a time, women did not fear birth, and yet today, fear in birth is common and problematic. Rebecca Black, a psychologist, mother, hypnobirth practitioner and founder of The Mindful Birth Movement chats to me about the role of fear in birth, where it comes from, how to eliminate it and how hypnobirthing can help you unpack, process and release it. She talks about how important it is to work through past traumas, dive into your subconscious and prepare your mind to help you work through birth. Bec shares tips in preparing for birth to have a positive experience and how complex psychological birth trauma is.
