We are so lucky to learn from Amy-Rose White today. She is an LCSW who has worked in the perinatal community for decades, and started PSI Utah. Amy-Rose shares some of her personal experience with birth trauma and then teaches us about what birth trauma is, symptoms you may experience, and some treatment options. She also shares some of how the medical system could change to prevent birth trauma. If you are feeling anxious, her voice alone will help you feel more calm.
