Caring for Your Emotional Wellness After Baby (or Before Pregnancy) As a Survivor of Sexual Trauma | 47
Season 1 Episode 47
Today’s episode is a weighty topic. Emily Pardy of ready Nest Counseling, here in Nashville, joined me to discuss perinatal mental health.
We focused on peri-natal considerations for women who have experienced sexual trauma. This is a topic that I am passionate about, but it also hits home hard. Many of my students and members know that I have dealt personally with sexual trauma, and it has affected my work as a labor nurse.
