Home Birth, Trauma, and Boundaries with Skylar Ibarra, LCSW: Ep76
String together the words home and birth around a group of people and you’re likely to receive some intense reactions.
In a perfect world, all mothers would be able to birth where they feel the most comfortable and safe – freely and without judgment.
Skylar Ibarra is a licensed psychotherapist with an emphasis in perinatal trauma and a home birth mama of 2. She joins us today to speak on the trauma that too often controls this narrative, and the mental and emotional challenges that arise when making the choice to birth at home.
She walks us through setting boundaries, determining our needs, navigating societal judgments, and so much more. This is a conversation you do not want to miss.
