Birth Reflections which Reaches Beyond the Reflection.
Most birth reflections services are offered within a clinical setting, often at the place where your birth experience happened. Thery are usually also aimed only towards simply understanding the events in more detail in order to move forward.
Understanding the events surrounding an event a person would describe as 'traumatic' is incredibly useful in many ways. However, for some, revisiting the place or re-accessing the service within which the event took place can feel far less than comfortable.
This is one reason why choosing your Birth Reflections session with Independent Midwife, Sarah, is likely to be a more suitable option for you.
In addition to this, Sarah and Ruth have developed a nurturing partnership to ensure that you not only have the space to tell your story and gain better understanding around specific events, the aim is also to ensure that you can truly move on from the experience. Resolving difficult feelings and releasing any remaining symptoms as a result of that difficult experience behind - this is achieved through the gentle hypnosis and guiding part of the sessions involving a technique known as '3-Step Rewind'.
Your 'Reflect and Resolve' Sessions will Take Place Over 3 Sessions.
Session 1 - 2 HOURS - with Ruth and Sarah - Either in-person or remotely.
Session one provides you space to tell your birth story if you wish and, at the same time, to understand the events around your birth experience with Sarah's gentle guidance. During this session we will begin to initially explore what the future might look and feel like for you once any difficult feelings have lifted. You will also have some relaxing time for you with the opportunity to be guided through a short comfortable and relaxing hypnosis session which will be recorded for you to continue to listen to until we meet for session 2.
Session 2 - 1.5 HOURS - with Ruth - Either in-person or remotely.
This session focuses on further developing your experience of what the future can look and feel like for you once those difficult feelings have lifted - essentially creating new neural pathways of possibility (when we imagine a desired future in great detail, we are more likely to achieve it). The majority of this session you will spend in a gentle state of relaxation, essential to help you to feel comfortable as you re-process the memory of the event using the 'Rewind' technique, and to further orientate you to the future you desire.
Session 3 - 45 minutes - with Ruth and Sarah - This is a remote consultation.
Session 3 is our final session to ensure that the changes in the way you are feeling have been achieved. Many people, when they attend their final session, feeling lighter, more able to flow with life, calmer and happier having both reflected and re-processed that difficult memory. You will still be able to recall, when you wish, the events surrounding your baby's birth. However, this memory will feel easier to recall and not have the same difficult emotions attached that it used to evoke. We will also spend some time further strengthening your future outlook and, once again, this can be recorded for you to continue to listen and relax to going forward.
