Help me name my birth trauma course please? xxx

[marmitetoastie]

Hi
I'm a trauma therapist and Im filming a course to help women recover emotionally from childbirth, using emdr, havening, nlp etc. I don't know what to call it, could you please give me some feedback on these? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, xx

"I can free you from Birth Trauma"
"You can heal your mind after distressing childbirth"
"Healing the afterbirth aftermath"

my second line would be;

• a programme to free you from uncontrolled feelings such as anxiety, sadness and fear following a distressing birth.

Love to you guys, I suffered with it myself some years ago - it propelled me to become a therapist and I really want to put something out there that makes a difference.

If you have a better idea, please do share it with me. x

What about just 'Healing your mind after birth'

Or 'Feeling better after a traumatic birth"

After the storm?

Post-Birth Mental Healing?

I like your third option 'Healing the afterbirth aftermath'.

I would go with something that does what it says on the tin rather than 'After the storm' or something personally - be clear what it is on your website and social media, higher ranking in Google, not melodramatic. Also don't do anything too 'woo' as it may put people off. Good luck op!

Deal with your difficult birth. Healing after a difficult birth. Feel better about your birth experience. Post birth trauma healing.

Sounds great, good luck.

Isn't 'afterbirth' plaxsbta? Would have to be 'after-birth'

*placenta!

I really like @yawning801idea. Agree the woo would put people off but it’s shorter and concise which is where I was trying to go!

Shredded Vagina Club?

Maybe Body & Mind -(tag line) Post birth healing

Emotional recovery after birth trauma

Healing After Birth - don't use the first two: they sound freaky and new age-y

Yes good one. ty x

Yep, mine felt like an aftermath. Love xx

Great advice, ty x

All good suggestions I'll write them down, thank you for bothering to reply x

I like ‘emotional recovery from birth trauma’.

Important work

Thank you, simple and clear. Good one. xx

Also like emotional recovery after birth trauma

Yes that last suggestion is good.

I would avoid "I can" etc

Ok I think it's between
Emotional Recovery After Childbirth
or
Emotional Recovery after Birth Trauma.

With the birth trauma, I've found women don't always realise they're traumatised, they don't know what's wrong with them, just that it's too bad a place to revisit. But then perhaps they're not the ones who would be looking for a recovery programme online. They normally come to me for other things (121) and I sort that out as we go along.

Any more thoughts welcomed. Thanks so much everyone for all the great replies above. MT

I think to avoid the words 'After Birth' (i.e the placenta) slipping into it and being a distraction, the wording should be swapped

'Birth Trauma and Emotional Recovery'

or

'Child Birth and Emotional Recovery'

@marmitetoastie

Be wary of claiming you can 'free' women from trauma. Not saying you can't but it's a big claim and with the best will you might not be able to free everyone. Perhaps stick to 'helping to heal' or something suggesting a journey and your role in that. Good luck with it. Valuable work certainly x
