You are listening to episode 17, part 2 of the Supporting Survivors Who Birth Series- A dive into the intersections of sexual violence and birthwork and what we can do to best be of support for survivors.
As some of you may know, I am a rape crisis peer counselor and a birthworker that specializes in supporting survivors through the birth experience.
In this episode, I offer a step-by-step breakdown of some of the primary ways in which I offer support to birthing survivors. This is a sneak peak into my upcoming training through Cornerstone Doula Trainings in December 2019 called Supporting Survivors Who Birth. It’s a 4hr online intensive with an anti-oppression based exploration into the intersections of sexual violence and birthwork.
In this training you will...
*Deepen your understanding of the workings & impact of sexual violence
*Unveil the ways in which trauma can manifest for survivors through birth, pregnancy, & postpartum
*Embody these practices through role playing to FEEL what it can be like to provide support in the moment
*Identify and strengthen your abilities to best be of support
The first two parts of this series are a sneak peak into the training- go to birthbruja.com to see a detailed description of what the course will cover.
One final note on sound quality before we begin- I had family visiting and had to record atop our bed. As such, you’ll occasionally hear sounds of a rustling weiner dog’s collar along with whooshing sounds of her moving to cooler spots on the bed. #MomLIfe
The music you heard in today’s show is entitled “Healer,’ by Sampa the Great. Deep gratitude to We Rise Production for assistance in production.
