Ep 59: Birth Trauma, Dissociation and Growing Up in Motherhood with Sophie Burch
Cath was joined by coach, trainer and hypno-CBT therapist Sophie Burch this week. We talked about Sophie's journey to motherhood, her passion and mission in the prenatal, perinatal and postpartum stages of parenthood and how her own experiences contributed to this. We touched on how birth trauma and a stay in NICU impacted her and her children. Sophie shared how she deals with the impacts of PTSD, maintaining her sanity while parenting 4 boys and how she cares for herself.
Sophie Burch aka The Mamma Coach is on a mission to put mental and emotional wellbeing more on the map in pregnancy, birth and parenting. She has 17 years experience as a mother to 4 boys (including twins), as a perinatal therapist and coach, and a birth trauma and PND survivor. Her experience has shaped who she is and awakened her to a life of compassion and deep empathy for everyone from pre-conception through parenting to menopause. Her approach is simple: to allow people to feel held and heard, safe and worthy of love and self acceptance.. Sophie believes that our strength comes from self compassion, kindness and knowledge, which is her ethos.
Sophie’s book, Beyond Birth: A Mindful Guide for Early Parenting, was published in 2020. It is an integration of all she knows will help people have a more balanced, positive experience as they transition from pregnancy to parenting. The book is available on Amazon in multiple formats, and can be delivered via parent-baby support sessions and a practitioner training course.
She is a Trainer and Team Member at PMH Training CIC with leading Perinatal expert and Author Dr Jane Hanley and offers online and in person coaching, 1:1 and groups and is very happy to talk about her work and experience at events and podcasts.
