Upcoming Healing Birth Trauma Series
The Healing Birth Trauma series is a birth trauma processing group for BIPOC birthing people of all genders and identities who have had a traumatic birthing experience. This is a 4-week virtual group for BIPOC birth trauma survivors led by Marquita Straus, LICSWA.
We understand that we all process and heal differently, so Imani’s Light offers this Healing Birth Trauma series as a rotating modality offering. Some of these modalities may include creative arts therapy, movement, music, creative writing, mindfulness, somatics, and more.
This series is unique in that it is not a general support group but an interactive combination of education, skills development, and peer support. Over four 2-hour sessions, we will explore how birth trauma impacts us emotionally and physically and gather tools to actively heal trauma around your birth and perinatal experience. We will focus on naming your birth trauma, identifying and managing triggers, and caring for yourself and your baby throughout your healing journey.
*Important Note: While we honor and acknowledge each person’s experience, we will not be exploring individual group member birth story details to prevent triggering others in the group.
Who is this series for?
If you have experienced a traumatic birth, and it is affecting your life, then this series is for you. It does not matter where or how long ago you gave birth, this group is meant to bring traumatic birth survivors together to heal and know that they are not alone.
