Three months after the traumatic birth of my daughter, I was still struggling on a daily basis. I couldn’t think or talk about her birth without crying. I felt caught on a hamster wheel of emotional pain without a way of getting out of it. I was still experiencing a very strong sense of fear and loss and there was anger toward my providers. I honestly didn’t know how I would get through it.
After my session with Heidi, I felt like I could walk through the world again! Processing my trauma gave me a greater capacity for joy, patience, and hope. I was able to talk about the birth experience free of tears.
When I left, I realized the session was going to change my life. I had no idea how it would help with how I interact with my husband and children. Now that I am emotionally regulated, I can hold space for my kids and make them feel safe. For the first time in a while, I was able to remain calm and patient in the face of a long meltdown by my two-year-old. When he calmed down, he came over and said, “I love you mom.” What a reward!
I now have the tools I need to process things as they come so I no longer feel trapped. I feel free!
What I learned from Heidi doesn’t change what happened, but it has allowed me to live even though it happened. I’ve always known there was generational trauma in my family, but I never knew how to break those patterns. The tools Heidi has given me allow me to break the cycle and create healthy patterns for my children. They not only benefitted me from this birth experience, but will serve me for a lifetime by helping with any future experiences.
I’m beyond grateful for Heidi and the life changing work she does. It’s truly miraculous and I felt so acknowledged, safe, and cared for. If you have trauma and pain please experience this for yourself. I promise you won’t regret and you’ll never look back!
