In this episode, Laura Guinnane delves into the transformative power of birth stories and how sharing them with children can promote emotional healing. Reflecting on her own experience of a difficult birth and postpartum recovery, Laura explores the deep emotional and physical imprints that can be carried from birth and the prenatal period.
Inspired by the work of Kate White, Laura highlights how these imprints can affect both mother and child and shares how mothers can begin the process of healing by first tending to their own birth stories.
Through personal anecdotes, including her own healing journey and experiences with her son, Laura shows the profound impact that sharing a child’s birth story can have on their nervous system, helping them process and release any lingering trauma.
By gently speaking to children about their birth experience, parents can help their child express emotions like anger, sadness, or fear that might be trapped in their bodies, allowing the nervous system to release and find balance.
Whether you're a parent, a mother, or someone on your own personal healing journey, this episode offers powerful insights into how working with birth stories can bring healing, connection, and a return to safety for both mother and child. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in understanding the energetic and emotional imprints of birth, and the importance of orienting children back to their inner blueprint for a healthier future.
