#115: Birth Considerations + Prep for Sexual Trauma Survivors with Beth Warren LCSW

In this episode, Dr. Morgan interviews perinatal mental health therapist and licensed clinical social worker, Beth Warren on the topic of how past trauma, specifically sexual or reproductive trauma can affect and trigger women when they enter the process of motherhood - from pregnancy through postpartum. She outlines the various obvious and subtle ways this period can cause survivors to relive aspects of their trauma - and what they can do to abate these effects. From understanding the what and why, to developing a true trauma-informed birth team- this is an important topic not often brought to light and I'm honored to be bringing further awareness for how survivors can educate and empower themselves so this experience is the best it can be.
