Ep 7 - The Difference Between Postpartum Trauma and Anxiety

Hey postpartum moms, welcome to episode 7 of Trauma Healing for Postpartum Moms. Trauma and anxiety symptoms often overlap, so today I'm breaking down the difference between the two and how they can both show up in this new stage of motherhood.

After listening to this episode, you will know how to spot anxiety and how to spot trauma (without diagnosing yourself, of course, get a better sense of what is going on for you as you navigate motherhood and what you can do about releasing the trauma that shows up as anxiety in your everyday life. Your baby needs you to take care of yourself in order to show up for them - I explain to you how this can happen.


In this episode, I chat about:

  • The overlaps between anxiety and trauma
  • The difference between anxiety and trauma
  • What we can do to release the trauma that shows up as anxiety on a daily basis so that you can enjoy being a mom.
