Tell me about the process in more detail Resolve & Gently Lift Negative Emotions associated with Difficult Memories •Birth Trauma •Fertility Journeys •Pregnancy Loss •Pregnancy Complications •Breastfeeding Difficulties Whether you are on a fertility journey, currently pregnant or have decided that your family is now complete, it is important to find healing and a place of peace. Planning & starting a family is likely to be one of the most significant and memorable times of your entire life, and a time which should be looked back on with warmth, love, joy and excitement. Unfortunately, for some families, this is not always the case. What is Trauma? Trauma occurs when the brain is unable to separate difficult memories from difficult emotions. Recalling a distressing event therefore triggers a “fight or flight” reaction even when no current danger exists. Signs of trauma can include - •Flashbacks or nightmares •Anxiety or a strong emotional response when something reminds you of that event •Trouble sleeping •Hyper-vigilance, or worrying about/avoiding similar situations •Physical symptoms such as nausea or headaches •Feelings of failure •An inability to talk about specific events or feelings Although people who meet the formal diagnostic criteria for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to their birth is only about 5%, this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many more who experience signs of trauma which are distressing and significantly affecting their lives and their transition into parenthood. Who is affected by perinatal trauma? 30% - Approximately 30% of all parents in the UK will describe their birth as traumatic 1/3 - That’s nearly a 3rd of all parents What is The Designed To Recover Process? At Designed To; I facilitate the use of the 3 Step Rewind. This is a gentle and effective process originating from neuro linguistic programming (NLP) that can help shift the heavy or unhelpful emotions and anxiety that are attached to any negative memories related to your experiences of pregnancy or birth (or ANY experience that has been experienced as traumatic). The Rewind technique offers you the opportunity to talk about your birth experience if you would like to, however the wonderful thing about this technique is that you don’t have to talk about your experience out loud if you don’t want to. What IS required is that you feel happy to talk about your symptoms, and how you would like to change them.
