“It’s not my baby’s fault. But when her hand touched my neck, I panicked" Denise- Teaser

"It’s not my baby’s fault. But when her hand touched my neck, I panicked — like I wasn’t even in my body anymore.”

In this month's upcoming episode, Denise speaks the truth so many survivors hold in silence — what happens when sexual trauma doesn’t stay in the past, but shows up in the most intimate, everyday moments of parenting.

Breastfeeding. Birth. Even a hug from your child.

When your nervous system still holds the memory, motherhood hits differently.

In Part 2, we dive into:

— Birth trauma & why it’s often worse for survivors

— The shame of not being the “perfect mother”

— Breastfeeding, body boundaries & the guilt no one talks about

— How healing your neuroception can shift your whole life

— Why talk therapy alone wasn’t enough for her

— And the one thing she wishes every OB/midwife knew

This episode is raw, real, and deeply validating.
