Below is a selection of resources that I will share with families who are experiencing postpartum stress.

The FIRST resource is always the RISE UP process, since that will help us uncover the next steps. The clarity that comes with releasing the coulda-shoudas lets a family know what kind of support they need.

Example: If a woman is asking for breastfeeding help it is appropriate to ask her if she thinks trauma is part of her struggle. If she says “no” please *believe her* in the moment, as the breastfeeding help is what she needs right now. It may very well be you can see that healing her trauma would go a long way towards resolving her issue. Support her with the RISE UP method, allow her to explore the feelings and the judgments she may have of herself while you provide unconditional support.

So… I will add to these resources as I find additional ones. DO NOT SHARE THIS PAGE with your clients.

How to use this page:
Share a FEW resource links or the information from those links that suit the questions she is asking.

  • Do not try to diagnose her or tell her she is struggling in ways she is not aware of.
  • Be curious and remember you can always share more later.
  • Be a well-spring of information, don’t ask your clients to drink from a fire-hose by sending them everything at once.
  • Trickle the links and resources….
Share your favorite resources
If you have resources you like to share with families, I would love to include them. Send them to me via Lori@BirthingPeaceWithin.com and I will review them for inclusion on this page.
