What is Birth reflection?
Birth Reflection
Birth reflection session
This debrief/reflection session can last between 1-1,5 hours and is a great opportunity to gain clarity and closure.
This session is an opportunity to be heard and for your questions to be answered impartially. It provides the opportunity to talk, to share feelings and to reflect on the individual experience. It can help to obtain a greater understanding of events, why possible intervention was necessary and to discuss any possible implications for future birth.
Your partner or anyone who can benefit from this session is more than welcome to attend (or can have a separate session), as they may have also been affected by the experience. There is no need for you to have your notes, however, if you do have them and would like for me to go through them with you then this is more than welcome. Should you have any further questions please do contact me.
What birth reflection is not
It’s important that I manage your expectation: a birth reflection (also called birth debrief) is not counselling or therapy. A debrief cannot guarantee you complete healing or provide a medical diagnosis. It may, however, be all that you need. It can also work well alongside talking and other types of therapy, if required.
