As a doula, midwife, doctor or other practitioner or therapist in the field of pregnancy and childbirth, you will be working with women and people at a very vulnerable time in their lives.  Many will have past or present histories of sexual abuse or physical violence which can profoundly influence their emotional and psychological state and determine whether birth is a healing or further traumatising event.

In this short Doula Deep Dive, Kicki will talk about 9 challenges in childbirth for survivors and possible solutions.
