Healing Somatic Trauma in High Risk Pregnancy | Parijat Deshpande
Thursday Apr 01, 2021
Thursday Apr 01, 2021
Today we talk to Parijat Deshpande, leading high-risk pregnancy specialist, somatic trauma professional, speaker, and author. She has helped hundreds of women work safely navigate difficult pregnancies, and prevent further complications by healing past trauma with her unique neurobiological approach. She is also the author of the bestselling book Pregnancy Brain: A Mind-Body Approach to Stress Management During a High-Risk Pregnancy.
We talk about the chronic structural damage that trauma can do to the brain and how it affects the nervous system in the future. We talk about how that somatic trauma affects pregnancy and how Parijat starts breaking these patterns. We also talk about humans store memory in the body and the way that pregnancy can trigger memories that cause fear and tension.
We then talk about what makes a pregnancy "high risk" and some of the factors that can put a pregnancy in that category. We talk about how to prevent the stressful parts of high risk pregnancy from storing as trauma in order to help mitigate future problems. We talk about what can be done in every stage of pregnancy to work on encoded trauma and prevent the storage of future trauma.
Finally we discuss the way unresolved trauma affects postpartum anxiety and depression. We talk about how partners and family can be involved with the regulation and release of trauma in pregnancy and postpartum situations.
