  • A warm hug for any NICU parent

    Having been a guest and an avid listener since the beginning, the podcast not only feels like a warm hug and a cup of coffee on a rainy day, it also makes you laugh, cry, nod furiously and/ or find out things you didn’t know you needed to know about NICU, parenthood, prematurity, medical aspects, pregnancy, mental health (the list goes on!). If you’ve been in NICU these podcasts are like being welcomed home to a space where everyone gets it. If you haven’t, it’s an amazing space to learn about t... more

EMDR Therapy Explained: Healing Birth Trauma, NICU Trauma and PTSD
Q: Can EMDR be done if someone is pregnant?
Yes. It's a myth that you cannot do EMDR during pregnancy. It can be used to reduce anxiety and improve calm and grounding during pregnancy, focusing on current concerns and prep for birth when appropriate.
EMDR Therapy Explained: Healing Birth Trauma, NICU Trauma and PTSD
Q: What should someone expect in the resourcing phase of EMDR?
In phase two, the therapist helps build coping skills and dual attention abilities so you can think about a trauma image for short periods while staying grounded, effectively expanding your window of tolerance.
EMDR Therapy Explained: Healing Birth Trauma, NICU Trauma and PTSD
Q: Who is EMDR for?
EMDR is beneficial for a wide range of people, especially those with birth trauma, NICU experiences, or other trauma, including pre-verbal or not fully articulated memories. It's adaptable to where a person is in their healing journey and can address current anxiety and future fears.
Understanding Birth Trauma: Medical Neglect, PTSD and Healing with Teela
Q: Can you explain narrative therapy and how it helps birth-trauma survivors reclaim their story?
Narrative therapy externalizes the problem, helps people separate themselves from the trauma, and enables them to reauthor their life story in a way that reduces shame and increases agency.
Understanding Birth Trauma: Medical Neglect, PTSD and Healing with Teela
Q: What role does the partner play in birth trauma, and why should we focus on them?
Partners witness the trauma and often experience vicarious PTSD; understanding and supporting them is essential because their well-being affects the family's healing and the survivor's recovery.
