Publisher's Synopsis
Experiencing c-section birth trauma is an event that can significantly change the life path of any new mother. Often described as a life-saving intervention, c-section births that happen in a sudden turn of events can leave a mother with feelings of guilt, shame, anger, and frustration. With the fear of being given labels, postpartum, but the pressure to jump back on the train of performance, many mothers who experience the chaos and trauma of an emergency c-section will often suppress, or deny feelings of confusion around what happened and why. Add on the influential distractions of social media, mixed-messaging on how to achieve wellness, and an entire generational message of "do more, be more,"-- believing time and space are needed to explore a more restorative approach to postpartum healing can feel elusive at best.
In The Whole Mother Method(TM), Dr. Laura Eustache Zamor proposes a much needed solution to the fear of stagnation: surrender. Taking readers into the depths of her own tragic experience with a near-death c-section birth experience, she helps you see yourself with compassion and kindness, while demystifying some of the most supportive Naturopathic forms of care for recovery. Through her 3-fold framework, REST, REPLENISH, and REEVALUATE, she shares how mothers can use practical tools to rebuild their mind, body, and spirit, for the long haul.The Whole Mother Method(TM) will help mothers gently unpack the subtle, yet very real pain of c-section birth trauma, while giving them the permission to take back their voice as they heal it, and themselves.
