Honest Mamas Podcast

Today Melissa and Sophie talk about Birth Trauma. The term “birth trauma” specifically refers to adverse experiences one has during birth, but any traumatic events that take place between conception and about the age of three can have particular significance in shaping an individual’s life.

Today Claire Colaço, LMFT and Sophie McEntee, LMFT talk about the transition from being a couple to being a couple with a baby.

Today we are joined by Silvie Falschlunger, who works with first-time parents, second- and multiple-time parents, VBAC parents, women with special medical and psychological needs, women whose husbands were unable to attend their birth, natural childbirth women, women who decided on a water birth, women choosing an epidural, and women who experienced Caesarean Birth. She works with clients in Westchester, Southern Connecticut and New York City in a variety of settings: hospital, birthing center or home.

Today Melissa talks to Sophie about how longing along the path of infertility has affected Sophie’s life, the role that shame can play on this journey and the need to shine a light on the stories of women going through this experience.
