The Holding Approach to Birth Trauma

This 2.5-hour clinical training explores birth trauma through contemporary trauma-informed, attachment-based, and experiential frameworks, including Karen Kleiman’s The Art of Holding model. Participants will deepen their understanding of birth trauma as extending beyond adverse obstetric events to the mother’s subjective experience - moments of perceived threat, loss of agency, dismissal, or emotional isolation, even in medically “routine” births.
