@tranquilbirthuk @Birthtalkdotorg @rebirthblogger @HealaBadBirth Ah thanks for the shout out - I absolutely love @HealaBadBirth. Would love to think that The Supermum Myth complements it as a tool to work through trauma safely and with appropriate guidance and support @timepsychology 🙏🏼❤️

[Real Birth Project @realbirthproj]

@Birthtalkdotorg @rebirthblogger @HealaBadBirth @thesupermummyth second that. The book is great, Trauma is real and healing is possible is such a powerful message and the hope and tools women need. Also love #thesupermummyth for tools on the emotional fallout of motherhood.

Someone posted a pic of our book "How to @HealaBadBirth" & asked if it was any good. All feedback received was positive, but the one that made us cry was this (we asked permission to share). This is EXACTLY what we hoped our book would provide- we are so very glad.#birthtrauma

@makesmilk SO true! Things really turned around in my own healing - after a traumatic birth and difficult start to breastfeeding - when I realised that I had had not failed but that I WAS failed. Massive different, and huge steps forward in healing & learning from that point. xx

@millihill @rjwrm @SagefemmeSB @kahlia_13 @SmilingPamela @BirthOfTruths @JennytheM @hannahdahlen @JeniStevensS2S @WeMidwives @Humanisingbirth @DeirdreMunro @drtraceyc @elainebdmidwife @optimalclamping @thelovelymaeve @amateuradam Reading this makes my head feel like it will explode. And they wonder why our "Healing From Birth" meets often have totally booked out within a day. And why the mums who attended express they feel so shattered & betrayed after their birth. I'm so angry. #enough
