A secret field that summons lightning. A massive spiral that disappears into a salt lake. A celestial observatory carved into a volcano. Meet the wild—and sometimes explosive—world of land art, where artists craft masterpieces with dynamite and bulldozers. In our Season 2 premiere, guest Dylan Thuras, cofounder of Atlas Obscura, takes us off road and into the minds of the artists who literally reshaped parts of the Southwest. These works aren’t meant to be easy to reach—or to explain—but they just might change how you see the world. Land art you’ll visit in this episode: - Double Negative and City by Michael Heizer (Garden Valley, Nevada) - Spiral Jetty by Robert Smithson (Great Salt Lake, Utah) - Sun Tunnels by Nancy Holt (Great Basin Desert, Utah) - Lightning Field by Walter De Maria (Catron County, New Mexico) - Roden Crater by James Turrell (Painted Desert, Arizona) Via Podcast is a production of AAA Mountain West Group.…

Have you watched that documentary from Brene Brown on Netflix yet? So many take always but a huge one for me was this – to not have conversations just because they make you feel uncomfortable is the definition of privilege. In the majority of birth culture we talk about birth through a hetero lens. As a white, heterosexual woman who has birthed at a hospital I’ve never had to stop and think about whether or not I look like the people in the brochure. I’ve never had to worry about whether someone will make inaccurate assumptions about my identity, my sexuality or make assumptions about my partner.
We all have biases. One of mine has been the familiar story of “well I’m super accepting of LGBTQIA+ clients, so that’s enough”.
I’m inviting you today to be courageous and admit that there’s a whole lot you don’t know about what you don’t know. I want you to embrace feeling uncomfortable, because (a) we must have uncomfortable conversations in order to see real social change, and (b) unless you are fighting for your birth rights within the LGBTQIA+ arena, your comfort is not really the centre of these conversations.
Feeling uncomfortable is how we do the work of trauma. If you sit with your discomfort it can take you to such an amazing place of growth, insight and strength.
Sheridon is a Melbourne Doula who also works in the community sector delivering juicy trainings. She sings, she plays the drums, she loves high fashion and I am SO glad we met! Some of the topics we cover in today’s episode:
Learning about diversity is a win/win. It’s joyful and reminds us of our core values about equality, love and humanity.
We need more than just whacking up a rainbow sticker. How does it feel when you navigate the world not knowing if you are welcome or not
How to bring an intersectional lens to your work remembering that LGBTQIA+ families are still grappling with erasure, pathologizing and loads of intergenerational trauma
Joy is a killer of fear
Language is a moveable feast - It’s not about being ‘right’. It’s about being open, reflective and allowing the birthing person and their family to guide us in what they need.
You can be an expert in your field but you’re not an expert on your client’s experience. It’s not yours to be an expert in.
To think about lifelong learning versus being “done” with training

I wanted to stop by and say thanks for supporting this podcast, and to introduce my new one- Mum As You Are. https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mum-as-you-are/id1577282849 This new podcast is unpolished and unfancy. A 10 minute or so convo each week to explore ways to work with parental burnout and depletion and isolation and guilt that are really practical, focussed on radical self-compassion and really having fun. This less of a here’s the A-Z on parenting topics and more about Motherhood as an identity and an institution and where mental health fits within that. Earlier this year I stopped using social media for my business and personally as well. It’s been one of the most rebellious things I could do and it’s been life changing. It has really brought me to question the ways in which I have used numbing and what you might call shadow comforts as replacement for real proper fun and real proper support. This is not about saying don’t use social media – if you are a mum in business and genuinely seen results from it more power to you sister, however, I do come from the standpoint that this is our generation’s addiction. I think mothers are settling for substandard, faux-fun and while we are familiar with the old ‘do self care” I think a huge part of what’s missing in the motherhood mental health conversation is the idea of fun – like real, belly laugh I feel like myself not just someone’s mother or a worker – fun. That’s the crux of what I’m interested in exploring here. If you want to follow me over there, new episodes come out weekly https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mum-as-you-are/id1577282849 You can reach me: dr.erinbowe@gmail.com Books: More Than a Healthy Baby: Finding Strength & Growth After After Birth Trauma https://amzn.to/3PbdohA Birth Trauma: Tools to Cope https://amzn.to/3Ri67i8 Courses: Birth trauma training for birth workers the online course has over 2700 students from 42 countries https://doctorerin.com.au/btt-full-sales-page More Than a Healthy Baby: How to Cope With Birth Trauma is perfect for people who are navigating their own trauma.

1 HIGHLIGHTS of Remembering Amber Rose Isaac with Bruce McIntyre - conversations about racism in maternal health 14:28
*note* this is a very condensed version of my conversation with Bruce for those with short attention spans. It's an edited down version of a video so it will sound a little choppy. It's better viewed as a video - you can watch in both short https://youtu.be/iX0tSWeYdkU and long form on my Youtube channel https://youtu.be/XpkjS1AER4Q It was really important to me to have this conversation with my guest today. I’ve interviewed him as part of my second book I’m writing – parents of the pandemic but it also just made so much sense to turn our conversation into a podcast Some of you may remember the story of Amber Rose Isaac. A beautiful soul who died a really unnecessary death. Amber had HELLP syndrome which results in low platelet counts which is treatable, except Amber was continually ignored. She knew her body. She knew she didn’t feel right and yet she kept being dismissed and ignored. It wasn’t until she decided she’d switch to a midwife and homebirth model that they discovered how high risk she was. Doctors were signing off on her bloodwork and yet by the time she went to be induced her blood was like water. Induction resulted in an emergency c-section. Instead of being with her partner Bruce and her mum, she bled out in a hospital room alone. She didn’t even get to met her baby boy, Elias. I just don’t believe it wouldn’t have happened if she were white. In my first book, more than a healthy baby I talk about how in the Bronx in New York City black women are 12 times more likely to die than white women. Not just statistics. I don’t want us to forget and just say “oh well, that’s sad” I want things to change. This is in 2021, not 1821. Since I first her of her story, it has haunted me. Maybe it’s because like me, Amber had a psychology degree and was getting her masters. Maybe it’s because my parents are Glaswegian and Amber’s partner Bruce McIntyre has one of the most Scottish sounding names you can have. Maybe because I know a little of what it’s like to lie on a hospital bed, terrified while knowing I was losing a lot of blood. 3 days before she died Amber tweeted about how she wanted to write a tell all book about the negligence. Her partner Bruce has channelled his grief into activism. It was such an honour to be able to speak with him. This episode is a little longer. It is a beautiful love story with such a tragic ending. As you listen to Bruce and Amber’s story – I ask you to channel your sadness and anger into action.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяThe interview with my guest today took about a year to coordinate! This happens a lot on this podcast because babies get born, we get sick, there’s the whole parenting and home schooling in a pandemic thing. There are times when I feel like I can barely run a bath let alone run a podcast, so if you’re feeling frazzled, know you are not alone! If you are interested in trauma informed parenting, then you may have heard of the lovely Mama Manon. No matter how much we cognitively know how we want to parent our kids, and we read books, and we take courses, we still get triggered. We still struggle with feeling resentment, rage, numbness and depletion. As a parent, I personally find Manon’s videos and resources so helpful. When she posted a video last year about using somatic experiencing with her own traumatic birth, I knew we would get on like a house on fire. Self-compassion for our traumas is something we are all working on. Manon has a voice that makes you feel like you’re being wrapped in a warm blanket. She combines Aware Parenting and somatic experiencing to offer deep, gentle and empowering support. She chats to me today about her birth, her healing and growth and the lessons that come with working alongside your child in that process. Manon offers 1-1 sessions online and in person. She also has online programs and workshops all around Australia.

How we birth is a political statement. Birth trauma is a political issue because it’s a human rights issue. Imagine you’re pregnant and with kids and you’re sending your partner out for food or nappies and wondering if they’re going to be harassed, arrested or shot at? Imagine going to the hospital to birth your baby and being told that your pain isn’t real? That you’re being too dramatic, that your health problems are your own fault. Imagine wondering if you’re even going to make it out of the hospital alive to see your family again? In order to even begin to work on trauma, we need mothers to be alive Black women are three to four times more likely to die in birth than white women. Again, we’re not talking about the third world here. This is current daily life in New York City, and some stats are indicating that for new York, black women are even 12 times more likely to die than white women. This is in the Bronx, where my guests today grew up and are doing lifechanging humanitarian leadership on the ground. Brother and sister goals – the amazing Hawk and Chivona Newsome from Black Lives Matter New York chapter took time out to speak with me. We had a chat in the car while they were on their way back from delivering food to over 200 people. The Bronx is the global epicentre for covid-19. Hawk, Chivona and their team work and work and work so that people can have access to proper food, healthcare, housing and an end to oppression. I could see the see the exhaustion on their faces, and yet there’s a fire in there that can felt from oceans and oceans away. Their parents met at a civil rights rally in the 1960’s, so you can say that they were born into this fight. They have both pledged their lives to bringing justice to this unjust system.

Let’s talk about flashbacks. When I saw midwife Kristy Watson’s ad for birth trauma research popping up on my social media feed I instantly had a flashbulb memory of being 20 and knee deep in my honours year of research. Truthfully, my memories of my honours year was that it was one of the most difficult years of my life. I was ever aware that I probably didn’t really deserve to be there. My year was a bigger intake than normal. The anxiety levels and competitiveness were high. Online research was not really viewed favourably back then, so I really felt like I was scraping together whatever research participants I could find for my project on PTSD. I did a comparison of people who were injured during trauma versus people who were not injured and found that people who sustained a physical injury had more severe PTSD symptoms. Most of those research participants were my friends and that research never saw the light of day! So, fast forward to seeing a mum who is trying to get participants in an area I’m super passionate about, and she’s a midwife who is juggling all of this with covid-19, home schooling and 3 kids. Of course I felt pulled to help her. And, after listening to Kristy’s passion, I’m sure that anyone who can help her will want to do what they can. Ultimately, research is what leads to policies. Policies is what leads to organizations being convinced to spend money and make changes. If you can help a sister out, this could actually lead to phenomenal changes in birth trauma research. Participant criteria: Live in Victoria and have had a vaginal birth that was traumatic between August 2018 -August 2020 (roughly) You can get in touch with Kristy at: kbar0026@student.monash.edu You can reach me @doctorerinbowe on instagram or dr.erinbowe@gmail.com I support birthing people and birth workers in a range of ways.

I’ve been really mindful about what messages I want to put out about overwhelm and anxiety. Now is not the time for adding more stuff. A distressed brain cannot learn or retain new information well. That’s true for adults and kids. Instead, work towards meeting basic needs each day with constants. Things that your great, great, great granny would have done. Things that will stay constant so long as the earth turns. These are some my go to strategies, bringing in the elements: Earth - I put my bare feet on the ground. I garden. If that’s not possible try a sensory tub with sand, dried beans, salt or anything you can sink your hands into. Maybe you have a shell, pebbles, a feather, a leaf in your apartment somewhere? Make some connection to touching something from the earth each day. A lot of us will be struggling with unconscious inner child stuff at the moment. Out subconscious taking us back to times when we felt scared and uncertain. Also consider that some of our reactions are not ours. Trauma is in your DNA from your ancestors. Those genes are being triggered right now. Scarcity, fear, anger. Some if those reactions are from your ancestors. Touching things from the earth will help with feeling alive and present to now. Fire - drink or eat something warm. Sit with a warm drink that you like and take a full minute or two to notice the warmth in your hands, watch the steam rise Water - drink, bath/shower or cry Wind - breath is the one coping constant so long as you are alive. Take one deep breath a day. Preferably more but pair it with something you already do - like every time you touch a door handle, take a deep breath + heart (yup a Captain Planet reference for all my 90s peeps) - have gratitude and compassion for yourself for simply getting through the day Focus on the constants - the sun will rise, and it will set. The wind, water and fire will continue to exist. The birds and bugs outside don’t know there’s a pandemic, they’re just going about their business. Watch them. If you can’t get outside watch some nature videos. Keep it so simple and so over achievable that there’s no room for failure. A glass of water with vitamins Finding 1 thing to be grateful for A deep breath That’s enough If you want 1:1 support for counselling or coaching, reach out :) I work with birthing people and birth workers 1:1.

A few weeks ago I went to a 2 day Breath work workshop with Theo2awakening. I share my personal and professional insights into this technique. There are SO many parallels with the psychophysiological techniques I've researched and used, and with hypnobirthing and just the altered consciousness state of birth itself. you can also find the video of this podcast on my youTube channel https://youtu.be/3DFXt0x3WWg I work with birthing people and birth workers 1:1.

Could you even count on one hand the people in your life who are willing to challenge your ego and call you out on your desire to just stay comfortable in your life? To draw your attention to things that you take for granted? Who make a point of saying “ok here’s this thing you say you don’t agree with – what are you doing to put that belief into action?” My guest today began our interview by asking me lots of questions. Questions about the climate of racism in Australia and what’s happening in terms of activism for maternal mortality for marginalised groups, and it was clear that I really don’t know a lot. I don’t claim to know much, but it is really easy as a white woman who birthed in a private hospital in Australia to forget about my privilege and not have to think about these things too much. And that’s good to acknowledge because growth is not a comfortable process, and we don’t make changes by just appealing to each others’ egos, right? Sabia Wade is someone who can encourage us all to be less quiet about privilege in birth. Sabia is a Radical Doula, Educator, Coach, Reproductive Justice Advocate & the founder of For The Village and Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings. For The Village provides doula services to under served families in San Diego with an emphasis on marginalized groups, such as people of colour, LGBTQIA and low income families. So we start our conversation with me referencing the so-called flora and fauna act. I was under the impression that up until the 1967 referendum, aboriginal people in Australia were classified as animals rather than human beings. In researching this topic, it may appear that this is inaccurate information. As in, the idea of Aboriginal people being classified as fauna was not part of a formal act, but refers to a speech in the seventies given by Aboriginal filmmaker Lester Bostock. However, can we sit in collective agreement that historically, and currently, Aboriginal people have indeed been treated like animals. Sabia and I have a cross-cultural chat about birth and privilege and then we end up with a conversation about koalas and chlamydia. You’ll love it.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяEvery time I post about maternal and infant mortality that’s happening for black birthing people and families I’m often met with some version of some passive aggressive response. I get DMs from people saying “but this isn’t happening in Australia”, or “maternal mortality rates have improved” or “you’re scaring people by sharing these really peripheral stories”. Guess what? I’m not here to make you feel comfortable. We have a genuine health crisis that’s occurring on a global level. Get out of your frickin bubble – particularly if you are a white, cis gendered woman sending me these messages. I don’t share these stories to tick a box, or for some sort of gold star – I share them because I give a shit. The fact that black women are up to five times more likely to die in birth then white women is a phenomenal health crisis. I’m not an expert. There is a LOT about birth and trauma that I don’t know and I’m not shy to admit that. I’m sure this comes across in many of the interviews I’ve conducted on this podcast! But do you what’s a really easy thing to do – is reach and have a conversation. Actively choose to have conversations with people who aren’t in your bubble. Dr Sayida Peprah is one of those beautiful people I reached out to. Like me, she is a Clinical Psychologist. She’s also a doula and the founder and lead trainer of Diversity Uplifts. Part of her work is training people to see their implicit bias and working towards compassion rather than fear mongering and coercion. In this episode we chat about language in the birth space and this phrase “no time for…” I’m sure you’ve heard it. There’s an emergency situation in a birth and people will insist that there’s no time for niceties. And yet, as Psychologists, we are defying this myth every day. A Psychologist’s job, in part, is to navigate emergencies – talking people down from suicide or homicide. Hostage situations where people have a knife, a gun or a bomb. We manage to be calm and care for people with a quiet voice. We don’t rush, yell at people, talk down to them or ignore them. We make a human connection. We help people feel seen, heard and safe. If our child is hurt, we explain what is happening, we reassure them that they are seen and heard and acknowledge their fears and pain. These are skills I want translated into the birth space.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяThere is magic and medicine in story telling and my guest today is one of the best at all three of those things. Dr Danielle Arabena is an Indigenous doctor, healer, witch, and a doula. She is a shamanic healer, a holistic pelvic care practitioner, and an all round witty and wonderful witchy woman. She is a keeper of the crossroads between magic and medicine, and how these things can coexist. For any science or health practitioner who is wu-wu curious, comes from a diverse cultural background, or is simply feeling they hide to their spirituality and culture, Danielle is your go to. She has stood on a stage at medical conferences speaking about astral travel and no one set her on fire or tried to drown her. Danielle is a kindred spirit in that she, like me, has earned degrees in part to prove a point. To have people take us and our healing gifts seriously. It’s not been an easy ride by any means, but Danielle has found ways to heal in a way that feels authentic and aligned. Danielle and I talk about birth as a sacred practice and her ability to feel the energy between the two worlds. We talk about trauma in the context of the erasure of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, and ways in which we can make space for Indigenous families to feel safe and supported. You are more powerful than you know. If birth workers and the people they serve remember that they are powerful, then we will change the world.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяHave you ever heard someone speak and just thought “oh my Lord I need this person in my life?”. Mars Lord was a guest recommended to me by a few of you listeners, and I’m so grateful! My favourite mentors in life have been women who are epic storytellers, make difficult topics easy to talk about by being warm, passionate and funny as fuck. Mars is a mother of 5, grandmother now too. She has been a doula for 15 years and she is a glorious speaker and activist. Maternal and infant mortality rates for black, brown, Asian and Indigenous people are increasing. Black women are now five times more likely to die than white women – in pregnancy, birth or within the first 12 months. Mars talks to us about how the reasons that black women are dying haven’t changed, and yet the system and the people supporting them hasn’t changed to acknowledge that they are dying. You think about other health crises in the perinatal period – like cot death or SIDS. When we found putting babies to sleep on their tummies led to cot death we started putting them on their backs – and infant morality rates dropped. When we found that smoking makes small and premature babies, we started anti smoking campaigns, and infant morbidity associated with smoking reduced. Mars talks about what it means to be a non-racist versus an anti-racist. If you’re not ok with racism, assault, obstetric violence and coercion then be more public about it. If you’re not ok with birthing people and babies dying then what change are you actioning? You are more powerful than you know. If birthworkers and the people they serve remember that they are powerful, then we will change the world.

Here’s my story with complex childhood trauma”. You are going to feel some big feelings today. That’s ok, my guest today is ALL about sitting with, accepting and moving with big feelings. You can come back to it if you need to, but sometimes there is magic to be found in what we are avoiding. There is nowhere to hide with Lotus Fire. She is creative, glowy, playful and, to use a phrase many Australians grew up with, she has more front than Myers. It means to be bold, cheeky and unapologetically self-confident. Survivors of complex childhood trauma are often amazing chameleons. Adaptive shape shifters. Lotus and I talk about the idea of who are you – as in who are you now instead of who did you have to become to survive your childhood? Sometime around 17 Lotus began working through experiences of childhood incest. And she has done a lot of work. We talk about what it’s like when you and what you’re carrying feels like “too much” for other people to support. Trauma work is really difficult and there are unfortunately quite a few people saying they do trauma work who can’t manage caring without carrying. In that they actually don’t know how to help. We talk ab out Lotus’s Pregnancy with her son, and experiencing the suicide of her father when she was 7 months pregnant. How fine she seemed, how everyone else though she was fine. Remember that bit about the chameleon? Finding joy in trauma work Dancing, talking to rocks, playing tag, making jokes You are more powerful than you know.

1 Episode 26 When Survivors Navigate the Hospital System with Rachael Rose 1:12:59
1:12:59 Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається Подобається1:12:59
Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяMy guest today is a testament to the value of good support and investing in yourself. To hear a strong woman articulate her trauma, to see and hear that she is not broken and is using her experiences as a conduit for others’ growth – well, that’s just my happy place. I will never tire of this privilege – what it means to receive these stories and have people trust me with them. Rachael Rose is a full spectrum Dynamo doula hell-bent on bringing down toxic birth culture and supporting women to reconnect to their resilience and strength. Rachael is such a calm, sunny presence. I know this is a big topic, but you’ll walk away from this conversation feeling expanded rather than contracted. We talk about what happens when a birthing person ticks that box and says “yes. I’ve had experience of sexual abuse”, and, in Rachael’s case what happens when it’s never spoken about again. What can we be doing to better serve people and give them choices, make them the expert in what they need to feel safe. Sexual abuse, assault, molestation or whatever language we put to it must exist within a spectrum. It must never be about getting into comparisons and expecting people to qualify “does this count?”. It’s not a cognitive experience, it’s a bodily one. Sometimes it’s not until you are a much older, or go through pregnancy and birth that you begin to think about some of the experiences you’ve had as a child. Applying the label of ‘sexual abuse’ is complex. Rachael and I will talk about the impact of the abuse she experienced, but not go into detail as we are mindful of re-traumatisation. We talk about navigating all the bodily things - vaginal exams, stretch and sweeps, catheters, suppositories, language that is used, positions the body is put in. Having hands-on from other people when you’re learning to breastfeed. And then some of the anxieties that happen postpartum. Those intrusive thoughts that happen that are totally normal but no one ever wants to talk about. As I’ve said before, the goal needs to be establishing safety, not getting the information. You are more powerful than you know. If birthworkers and the people they serve remember that they are powerful, then we will change the world.

Try again: Therapy Healing Growth & self development Study Content creation Today on the podcast I talk about failure, trying to force outcomes and trying again. Dior had to try 150 times to make their next hit perfume for millennials. I haven’t given it a sniff so I don’t know how good it is, but it’s a great example of rethinking the “shouldn’t I be done with this by now?” Trying to force yourself to be ‘healed’ or achieve some imagined level of growth isn’t going to work. Maybe the universe has a better plan and the delays and roadblocks are actually there to help you? I look back at jobs I didn’t get. Something I once thought of as a missed opportunity is now so clearly reframed as a dodged bullet. I can be pissed that I didn’t start working on some of my own traumas until after my children were born, or allow the idea that the timing wasn’t right. Hope this reminds you that even the absolute best in the business have to try, again, adjust, be patient and try again until they get it right.…

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяWhat do you think of when you hear the word ‘fistula?’ For me, it was 2004 and I was 21 years old. I was watching the Oprah show on my lunch break and she was interviewing Dr Catherine Hamlin. The image I have I my mind when I think obstetric fistula is of terrified, very young African women. Who has laboured for days without any support and is then ostracised from their community. Very generally speaking, an obstetric fistula is a hole where a hole shouldn’t be. Between the vagina and rectum or bladder. It can be caused by prolonged or obstructive labour, leaving someone incontinent. We might not want to admit it, but we sometimes think fistulas as something that doesn’t really happen in Western hospitals. My guest today is someone who experienced such a birth injury in a hospital in the USA. Kristin Hill is a mental health counsellor and mama of two boys in Seattle. We talk about the feelings of patient-blaming, and scapegoating that goes on in birth. How it felt not finding any resources about fistula that particularly resonated. The re-traumatising process of making a complaint while feeling like her body had been hijacked. In sharing stories, we get our power back. We take ourselves out of isolation and shame and not only do we become stronger, we uplift others to see their own beauty and strength.

The Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT or "tapping") has been around for a while. I learned it in my masters training 13 odd years ago, but then dismissed it. I allowed an old mentor to let me believe it was too "wu wu" and not scientific enough. Now that I've been working through some of my own old traumas and programming, I've come back to it. I like it because it's something practical you can teach yourself (and your kids!). Tapping is like using psychological acupressure. By that, I mean it uses principles from Traditional Chinese Medicine where you stimulate meridian points. I LOVED using acupressure and acupuncture for pregnancy and birth, and we now have the MRI studies to show that the brain floods with endorphins. Just about every form of therapy also uses coping statements, affirmations and positive self-talk. The way that we speak to ourselves impacts our subconscious, our confidence, the way we view our reality and thus shows up in every choice and every behaviour.

Head on over to my YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00eZ1R-fghE I’d say that my guest today is like birth worker royalty, except that royalty typically represents a patriarchal system she’d hate. Instead, I will introduce her as a wild, wilful, wise woman. A goddess. A guru, the divine Jane Hardwicke Collings. Often the best way to move on the path forward is to ask the wisdom of those coming back. Jane and I talk about the concept of “fish can’t see water”. The fish being birth workers in the patriarchal birthing system. Jane is a women’s mysteries teacher. She began work as a midwife in the early 80s. She has seen, heard, touched, smelled and tasted trauma in the birth space. Jane is a visionary, and I know that so many of the messages she shares today will feel like she is giving you a direct call to action. There’s no way forward for a midwife who wants to just be a good girl. Many of us are still operating from fear of persecution. Except instead of worrying about being burned and drowned we worry about AHPRA complaints. You are more powerful than you know. If we can rewild midwives to remember that they and the people they serve are powerful, then we will change the world.

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяNow, one of my new favourite things to do on the podcast is interview a birth worker and then interview their mentor. So a few episodes ago I interviewed doula Hannah Goding, and now I’m interviewing her mentor Katherine Eden. In a few weeks I’ll then interview Katherine’s mentor and so on and so forth! I love stories. This is why I do what I do, this is why I do this podcast. Sharing stories can be such soul medicine. I really do believe that as healers and helpers we cannot walk this path alone. We need support, a sounding board and a circle either physical or metaphorical for story telling. Katherine is a great storyteller and a space holder. Always interested in the mystery of women’s bodies, pregnancy, and babies Katherine has dabbled in psychology, sociology, social work, and midwifery. She is now a doula educator who supports new doulas to thrive in every aspect of the sense. Katherine and I chat about how to help the helpers. With trauma, with grief around the idea of what they thought birth work would be like versus how it actually was, and the bullying. We talk about sister wounds, and the parallels of our work with adolescent girls and bullying and how we’ve been seen this transpire with adult women in midwifery! If you resonate with fears of being told off, wanting to stay small so that you don’t get attacked, and maybe even a history of being bullied by other women – we are here for you!

1 Episode 19 Treatment Options for Birth Trauma - Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) with Krysta Dancy 57:42
What if there was a quick, effective way to move through processing the trauma of your own birth or witnessing it at work, and it didn’t involve going into loads of detail? My guest today has specialist skills in how to do just that. Krysta Dancy is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Roseville, California. She is also a Doula, so this is such a special combo. I don’t think she will mind me saying that this is someone who is addicted to birth. Krysta worked as a therapist for 15 years had the same realisation that I have had – which is that birth trauma is the speciality that chose her I was excited to talk to Krysta about her knowledge of EMDR. So if you’ve never heard of it, EMDR is a therapy approach that teaches the brain to process traumatic memories as if they are not traumatic. The World Health Organisation recommends EMDR as one of the top two treatment options for trauma and PTSD. The other one is Cognitive Behaviour Therapy so I recommend you go and listen to that episode after this one, if you haven’t listened yet. Now of course, these are two recommended approaches, not the only approaches. A huge value of mine in this work is helping people find holistic support options – both for birthing people, and for the workers who may be carrying vicarious trauma in their bodies. EMDR is a pretty cool approach though and I’m looking at getting trained in it myself. I know you’ll get a lot of value out of this episode so enjoy!

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяMy guest today, Kerrie Adams is an anarchist midwife. A system disruptor and an educator of modern, savvy midwives who also want to change the world. Today We talk about: Midwife archetypes – the “good girl”, the “bitch” and all the patriarchal discourse that creeps into our subconscious when we choose reaction or inaction She talks about the differences between the UK and Australian systems. How it felt losing her autonomy and dropping skills. The culture shock of permission-asking and feeling like as a midwife there are people who want to keep you “stuck” at a certain level of skill, influence or even power. Kerrie has an extraordinary vision – yet she describes a time when she literally lost her sight for ten minutes while she was working beyond capacity caring for 24 women. We talk about how our lineage as birth workers is not one of confidence Trace back to your own family history. If you find any women who in any way supported, healed or advocated for other women and children – they were called witches. They were burned and drowned. The epigenetics of fear of being seen is very real. We talk about doing the inner work to create confidence, and truly learning the difference between passive, aggressive and assertive behaviour The bystander effect that happens when witnessing obstetric violence and finding the confidence to say “I want you to stop” to someone who is causing harm. How your values drive behaviour – how this can show up in things like not making yourself proper lunch. We make reference to the history of food and diet culture marketed to women – and all the shame, guilt and punishment that goes with it This is all about moving from reaction and inaction to meaningful action I want you to stay in birth work, if that’s your goal. Let’s talk about actionable steps to help make that happen. Kerrie Adams http://kerrieadams.com/ Show notes on www.doctorerin.com.au/podcast…

1 Episode 16: Midwives Rising 2 – How to Not be in the 32% who Want to Quit with Hannah Willsmore 53:52
Australia’s nurses and midwives are overworked, under supported and in serious danger of burning out, with 32 per cent considering leaving the profession. This is according to findings of a Monash Business School survey of nurses and midwives’ wellbeing. My guest today has found the confidence to work in a way that is aligned with her soul purpose, so that she’s not going to be another statistic. If you want a sustainable career as a midwife, you need to actively level up your self-care and support. These are teachable skills. Hannah Willsmore is an Endorsed Midwife in private practice, a life coach and a buddy of mine from Hypnobirthing Australia. She is based in Adelaide, and runs childbirth education and women’s circles. At fifteen years of age, Hannah managed to swing work experience in a hospital. She got into the labour ward and watched a cesarean birth. Can you imagine that ever happening now?! With the spirit of knowing that midwives are so often just doing the best they can with shitty conditions, Hannah and I talk about how we can be preventing burnout and preventing birth trauma We look at language- using person-centered language instead of medicalised language Making things seem like an emergency when it’s not And issues around Informed consent We also talk about the importance of having a supportive network and not waiting until you’re stressed to seek support. If your support system doesn’t actually make you feel better and have you walking away lighter, then there’s something that needs some tweaks I want you to stay in birth work, if that’s your goal. Let’s talk about actionable steps to help make that happen. For all the resources and people mentioned, go to the podcast section of http://doctorerin.com.au/podcast/…

Maybe you’re sitting in your car right now about to drive off from attending a horrendous birth. Maybe you are being bullied at work, or struggling with memories of your own birth. We’ve all been in those situations where we are so overwhelmed that we can’t think of anything to do for ourselves to help decompress. In this episode I wanted to run through 5 things you can do right now that might help if the ideas are not coming to you. 1. Deep breathing activating the vagus nerve, and stretching out 2. Checking in with your thoughts – are they accurate? Can you activate the dorsolateral cortex and turn down the fight or flight response with coping statements – I’m going to be ok, I’m loved, what I do matters 3. Tapping and/or cupping your arms – bring some blood flow and energy back to your body. Sit and feel your cold keys on the back of your arm. You’re drawing your gentle awareness back to your body and the here and now. Try taking your shoes off and massage your feet. Or maybe your hands. Let the tension out. Allow whatever feelings you have. Rather than try to push the feelings away see if you can name any feelings.…

In today’s episode I talk with Jenna Brown from love over fear wellness. Jenna is a change maker. A space holder. An eloquent, warm, vibrant presence that I am so glad exists in the world. In today’s episode Jenna talks about how full spectrum doula work = trauma informed care Trauma is really death by a thousand cuts – it’s not in one event, and for many, many people it’s interwoven with daily traumas. Some of the things we talk about in today’s episode are: being trans non binary in the birth world why pregnancy and birth is not a celebration for everyone and how do we support people through pregnancy, birth, identity death and other forms of rebirth, death and loss not making assumptions about people, and truly leaning into individual led care how triggers are invitations for healing 00.09 the assumption that recipients of care will tell us about their gender, sexuality or past abuse 14.10 using a non-assumption approach 19.00 Why the rhetoric of “trust your instincts and your body in birth” doesn’t work for some people 21:33 the body as a harbinger as trauma – walking around in a suit of your own trauma as a trans person 31:15 why not everyone who is pregnant is a woman 38:00 How learning about gender and sexuality and attraction teaches you something about yourself 41:00 Some basic stats about discrimination of trans people 43:48 How systems use shame to influence behaviour 51:40 using a safety plan for your self-care so that you don’t get stressed and then get stuck in inaction. 55:00 redefining being an ally Permission to be dynamic and need different things in different moments How love and a desire for compassion and enriching our lives with diversity is the killer for fear Jenna Brown: loveoverfearwellness.com IG and FB handle: @loveoverfearwellness Jenna’s book: Queer and Pregnant journal https://www.amazon.com/Queer-Pregnant-Mx-Jenna-Brown/dp/1798226324/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3GS2OO7H9SY8P&keywords=queer+%2B+pregnant&qid=1553903742&s=gateway&sprefix=queer+%2B+pre%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-1 Glossary for providers: https://www.lgbthealtheducation.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Glossary-2018-English-update-1.pdf Resource for inclusive birth professionals, includes many links to continued education opportunities: http://www.birthforeverybody.org/ One story, of many: https://www.autostraddle.com/bearing-life-with-and-alongside-on-masculinity-pregnancy-and-medical-trauma-438219/#comments…

Without wanting to simplify maternal mental health assessment in ANY way shape or form, I wanted to share one of the key questions I use in differentiating anxiety from psychosis. New parents are already struggling with hormones, sleep deprivation, poor eating and heightened stress. Many are terrified to tell anyone about their distressing thoughts for fear they will be 'locked up' or their baby taken away. This simple question could potentially make a difference in someone's care, their experience of mental health clinicians and their life. Remember to slay in your lane! This is not about teaching differential diagnosis, nor should you be attempting to make decisions about the mental health of someone else unless you are suitably trained. However, there are many times where health professionals forget to actually look at the person in front of them instead of responding to familiar symptoms/stories/programming.…

1 Episode 11 Finding the Confidence to Feel and Reveal Your Trauma with Erika Cramer 1:01:13

Відтворити Пізніше Відтворити Пізніше Списки Подобається ПодобаєтьсяYou have no idea how excited I was to speak with Erika Cramer. For a psychologist slightly obsessed with other people’s growth from pain and trauma, talking to Erika was SO deeply satisfying for the soul. To describe Erika as a fiery confidence coach doesn’t even cut it. Goddess Kali herself would see Erika out the corner of her eye and question what “powerful” means. If you don’t like Goddess culture, then let me put it in scientific terms – Erika is an outlier. Like eye wateringly way, way outside the curve of “expected” and I LOVE her so, so much because of it. The amount of trauma this warrior woman has been through is off the scale. And yet here she is – having done the work, and continues to do the work on herself so that she can give to others. A self-described “ghetto Boston bitch” there is no bullshitting with Erika. She is the most gorgeous example for women of reframing “bossy” into being a justice-doing activist. If you are struggling with anything and rehearsing ANY of these old stories: “it’s too late”, “it’s too hard to change”, “therapy is too expensive”, “I’m not ready”, “time heals all wounds” or whatever else you’re using as reasons not to dive into your growth – I hope you come away from Erika’s story feeling different. Erika talks about · Finding confidence from healing your own trauma · How you can’t possibly inoculate yourself from all traumas. Accepting that trauma will come and trusting yourself to grow from it · Erika’s experience of having a Mum with severe Bipolar Disorder, foster care, repeated sexual abuse, re-learning to walk after a horrific car crash, losing her husband after another horrific car crash, and having a dog who died in birth · The journey from being someone who, at 18 thought “I’ll just get the baby cut out” through to being an advocate for home birth · Working her way through judgement of other people and their birth choices through to letting go of “shoulds” · The infinite possibilities of birth and letting go of expectation in birth to intention. · Healing from a traumatic c-section birth through to a VBAC at home · Using gratitude and connection from your trauma (e.g., “ok so now I can connect with women who’ve miscarried) · Using bodywork through working on her hips and being in the moment to heal miscarriage, grief and emotional pain stored in her body · Her hero’s journey from a “non-brochure” traumatic first birth through to working her arse off for a satisfying second birth · A client’s perspective of how birth workers can forget what it’s like to be a client, and how it feels when your care provider isn’t confident · The experiences of being told you’ve “failed to progress”, that “you’ll leave the hospital without a living baby if you don’t do X”, and that your first birth was “too crazy” for homebirth to be a good option · The unpleasantness of proper self-care and how uncomfortable you need to get to do the work on yourself · If you’re not going to pay someone to work on your own shit, why would anyone pay you to support them?
