    Why processing your birth is vital (whatever your experience), with Illiyin Morrison

    On last week's episode with Dr. Alison McClymont we touched on birth trauma, and the response from the community has been staggering. So many of you have shared your stories and it's been heartbreaking to read about what so many of the community have endured. So this week we are re-sharing this incredible conversation with Illiyin Morrison which we hope will be supportive. Illyin is a midwife and birth trauma expert who shared with us what you can do if you have birth trauma, or if you feel uncomfortable with how your birth went and its still affecting you now. We hope that this episode feels validating and supporting.
