Birth trauma in neurodivergent families: Why it’s harder and what helps

£24.99

Does it feel like the trauma of birth never ended? For neurodivergent parents, or those raising neurodivergent children, the trauma of birth often continues long after leaving the hospital.

In this guest webinar with Dr Rosie Gilderthorp, Clinical Psychologist, we explore why our community is uniquely vulnerable to birth trauma and why it’s so hard to recover when you’re still in "survival mode."

We’ll look at the sensory and communication barriers that can make a hospital a traumatic place for neurodivergent parents, and we’ll explain how the ongoing "firefighting" of neurodivergent parenting (from “colic” and sleepless nights to sensory meltdowns) keeps your nervous system on high alert.

Finally, we’ll share practical steps to help you feel lighter: from identifying things you can do at home to signposting for professional help when its needed.
