Therapeutic Approach

Therapy for postpartum, prenatal, and reproductive trauma involves sensitive and empathetic support, recognizing the unique experiences and emotions involved. Techniques may include cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, and trauma-focused therapies such as EMDR. These approaches aim to help individuals process traumatic events, manage symptoms of anxiety and depression, and develop coping strategies. The goal is to empower those affected, fostering a sense of healing and resilience.
