Motherhood can be a deeply transformative experience — but for women with a history of sexual or reproductive trauma, it can also bring up unexpected and overwhelming triggers.
In this episode, Dr. Morgan sits down with perinatal mental health therapist Beth Warren to explore how past trauma can resurface during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. From subtle emotional responses to more obvious triggers, they unpack why this happens and how it can impact a woman’s experience of motherhood.
More importantly, this conversation offers a path forward. You’ll learn how to recognize trauma responses, advocate for your needs, and build a truly trauma-informed support team — so you can move through pregnancy and postpartum feeling safer, more supported, and more in control.
This is an important and often unspoken conversation — one that brings awareness, validation, and tools for healing.
