Hi Reader,

As Birth Trauma Awareness Week comes to a close, I keep thinking about the clients whose birth experiences continue to impact them long after the baby is born.

Many of us weren't taught how to recognize birth trauma or how to confidently use EMDR when it shows up in the therapy room. Maybe you've had a client mention an emergency C-section, a frightening delivery, a NICU stay, or feeling dismissed during labor, and you've wondered, Am I equipped to help with this?

That's exactly why I wanted to bring this workshop to our EMDR community.

While I work with trauma every day, I also know the value of learning from clinicians who have dedicated their careers to a specific area of practice. Birth trauma is one of those areas, and I'm thrilled to welcome Medha S. Kudaisya, LCSW, PMH-C, EMDR Certified Therapist & CIT to teach this workshop.

Medha is passionate about perinatal trauma, grief, and BIPOC mental health. She trained in EMDR with Mara Tesler Stein and has spent years working with clients experiencing perinatal trauma. One of the things I appreciate most about her approach is that she is a strong believer in the Standard Protocol. Her goal is to help newer EMDR therapists feel more confident and at ease using the EMDR skills they already have with birth trauma clients.

This workshop may be a great fit if you:

• Want to feel more confident treating birth trauma with EMDR.
• Work with pregnancy, postpartum, infertility, NICU, or parenting-related concerns.
• Have clients whose difficult birth experiences continue to affect them years later.
• Want practical examples of how Standard Protocol can be applied with birth trauma.
• Hope to better understand the unique experiences of BIPOC clients, who face higher rates of traumatic birth experiences and disparities in maternal healthcare.
