How to Heal from Birth Trauma with Shelley Freeman, MS, LCMHC

In this episode of the Medical Trauma Support Podcast, I’m joined by Shelley Freeman, MS, LCMHC, to explore three transformative pathways to heal from birth trauma: building a supportive community, engaging in somatic practices, and exploring therapy.

Together, we discuss the power of connecting with others who truly understand your experience, how somatic practices can help regulate your nervous system and create a sense of safety in your body, and why therapy can be a powerful tool for processing and releasing trauma.

Whether you're in the thick of postpartum struggles or reflecting on your own birth story, this episode offers compassionate guidance and actionable steps to support your healing journey.
