Many of you already know about the traumatic experiences my first 2 births were. My c-section is this Wed and I was really dreading it and scared of the possible scenarios that could present themselves.
Over the weekend I had an appointment with Carrie for Somatic experiencing. For the first time, I spoke out loud about how I felt during L’s birth and acknowledged the guilt I felt for giving up and missing out on so much. By the time, I left there I was feeling powerful and strong. I have this positive energy and thoughts surrounding Wednesday now (instead of dread). That said, I still start to feel dread or reluctance and remind myself of how I felt when I left there. I know I still have more work to do that goes deeper than this traumatic experience that will probably take a lot more to work through, but I feel good and more positive about this birth and that is huge for me. If you are struggling with anything, talk to Carrie and experience the Somatic therapy.
