Birth has a way of transforming us. Bringing forth new life requires us to dig deep, to find a part of ourselves that is bigger than ourselves, that you may not even know you have, that asks you to surrender and turn inward and trust.
This episode is loosely based on a Pathways to Family Wellness Article - titled The Treasure Box. Where a midwife discusses with a client how transformative birth can be.
Dr. Shannon and Doula Rachael share their own birth stories and how they tapped into their mental reserves during birth, and they share advice from clients and patients. Some call it the treasure box, this beautiful gift we’re given that shows us how strong and capable we truly are. Others call it the pain cave, this mental place we go to when things are hard, when we want to stop, when we want to give up. Whatever you call it, you do have it, and during pregnancy it can be helpful to reflect on your thoughts, fears, emotions, and feelings surrounding birth.
