non-medicated healing methods
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
A talking therapy that helps parents identify and change negative thought patterns, behaviours, and emotional responses. CBT works very well in overcoming anxiety and intrusive thoughts, restoring self-esteem, breaking the cycle of postpartum depression, coping with stress and overwhelm, addressing any relationship strains and preventing future emotional challenges. By equipping parents with these tools, CBT helps them regain control over their emotions, improve their mental health, and enjoy postpartum with a greater sense of happiness, balance and well-being.
Hypnotherapy
An effective practice that works by guiding individuals into deep relaxation, soothing the nervous system and allowing parents to process emotions, release fears, and develop new, healthier patterns of thinking and behaviour. Specifically beneficial for reducing anxiety and fear, overcoming birth trauma and emotional distress, improving sleep, boosting confidence, managing intrusive thoughts and stress and preventing future emotional challenges, Hypnotherapy provides parents with the tools to heal, regain emotional balance, and enjoy their postpartum journey with confidence.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness helps parents navigate the emotional challenges of the postpartum period with greater calm, clarity, and balance. It involves staying present and fully engaged in the current moment, without judgment or emotional reactivity. For parents dealing with the stress, anxiety, and emotional shifts that come after childbirth, mindfulness can provide essential tools for managing their well-being. It equips parents with tools to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of postpartum with greater ease, self-compassion, and presence, allowing them to feel more in control and enjoy their parenting journey.
