Birthing and Medical Trauma

Earlier this season in episode 3, Trauma Rewired explored the impact of a mother's nervous system on their child even before birth. But let's take a step back and focus on the overwhelming experience of birth to discuss the layers of trauma in the birth process and the importance of trauma-informed care.

Mandy Irby, founder of The Birth Nurse, is on the show today to share her own traumatic birth experience that transformed her approach to the birth process as a labor and delivery nurse. Since discovering the power of nervous system regulation, she's shifted her career to educate nurses on trauma-informed care and how to build resilience within themselves so they can reduce harm and support patients during the birthing process.

In this episode, Mandy helps us explore the coregulation of mothers and medical professionals, the history of harm in the birth process, how trauma plays out in the birth space and the impact on the nervous system.

Tune in to find out how Mandy is bridging her experience as a nurse and neurosomatic intelligence certified practitioner to promote trauma-informed care in the birthing process!

Topics discussed in this episode:

  • The impact of Mandy's own birth experience

  • Why medical professionals detach from their patients

  • How Mandy uses NSI to help nurses support their patients

  • The history of oppression and harm in perinatal care

  • The layers of trauma in the birth experience

  • Using NSI tools to overcome the challenges of being a nurse

  • How NSI training can change birth outcomes and birth culture
