S5 EP 6 | Trauma in the Body after NICU
We have the honor and privilege of welcoming back Parijat Deshpande back to the Dear NICU mama Podcast! And today we are learning all about trauma in the body, specifically trauma in the body after we come home from the NICU.
In this episode we cover:
What happens to the brain/body connection as a result of trauma? Why does this happen?
What are some ways trauma can show up in our bodies after a traumatic birth and/or NICU experience?
Sometimes it feels our trauma is filtering our ability to connect with our loved ones and our baby…which then starts the shame cycle. Can you explain why this happens and what we can do to interrupt the cycle?
Is there hope to reclaim “old parts” of our selves? Is it ever too late to fully heal and find safety in our bodies after trauma?
We hope this episode offers you gentle yet powerful reminders that you are not broken, your body is not against you, and that healing and hope after NICU is possible. You are never alone on this journey of lifelong healing! This sisterhood believes in you, and most importantly walks with you.
