Working with Trauma and Perinatal Mental Health
Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are complex experiences and disorders that can impact individuals of diverse ages, backgrounds, and life stages. Pregnancy represents a significant developmental milestone for both the parent and the developing fetus. During this transformative period, traumatic reminders, new symptoms, and past memories may intensify or resurface, presenting unique challenges for expectant parents.
