[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am terrified of a possible future c section. I had one planned one and was completely totaled by the recovery. My old obgyn thought I had ptsd from the c section. My plan if I need another is to bring it to therapist and see if there is any trauma therapies I could do. I am scared I will literally have a panic attack.0[/quote]

EMDR is great for birth trauma. I highly recommend finding a trained provider.[/quote]

What is that?[/quote]

When you read about it, it sounds really woo-woo and weird. I can't explain why it works, but it does. It stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and essentially it tries to take positive affect from positive memories and feelings and apply it to traumatic ones, so that when those memories come up they don't cause the same visceral reaction that they do prior to treatment.

I laughed at my therapist when she suggested it. It hasn't solved all my birth trauma issues (my situation is complex and doesn't only involve birth trauma but also relationship trauma from the abusive relationship that I was in when my child was born), it helped a ton. [/quote]
