Are you struggling with parenthood? Do you have resentful or guilty feelings towards your baby? Are you experiencing periods of low mood that you can’t shake off? Are you exhausted and tearful?
WE CAN HELP -
We are led to believe that having a baby is one of the most natural experiences a woman goes through, where sleep deprivation, a demanding baby, constant demands on your time and attention, little or no support and a feeling of being out of control all seem to come as part of the “parenting package”.
However what about those births that are not so easy?
- A difficult or prolonged labour,
- A cesarean or instrumental delivery,
- A complicated or emergency medical procedure during labour & birth
- A prolonged sense of being out of control & unable to cope
- A complicated or emergency medical procedure following the birth of your baby
If you are experiencing any of the following signs or symptoms
- anger
- depression
- fear & anxiety
- guilt
- isolation & loneliness
- overwhelming exhaustion
- resentment
- stress
- panic attacks
you may benefit from birth trauma or post-natal depression counselling.
