Birth Story Listening
The Value of Storytelling
Most women will remember the days they gave birth for the rest of their lives.
Even when other memories fail us, our memories of birthing typically remain quite vivid and clear. They may pop up unexpectedly at times when we are doing other significant emotional work, in times of change, on anniversaries and milestones.
These stories are important.
Especially when you didn't have an ideal birth, telling your story can be an extremely powerful way of getting to know the medicine and truth your story has to offer. Usually, we have to tell our stories over and over again in order to fully grasp their depth and make peace with the aspects that are out of our control and out of our realm of understanding.
Only you can decide what there is to learn from your story,
why you are on this path,
what to hold on to from your story,
and what to choose to release.
Writing, telling, and sharing our stories can help us find the powerful, healing medicine and truth our stories contain.
It helps us get to know ourselves better and helps us connect with others. Through our stories, we can also begin to understand our purpose and the change we wish to create in the world.
Sharing your story can be an extremely powerful way of clarifying how your story participates in your personal myth (the narrative you create about the meaning and purpose of your life).
understanding what happened, why, and what meaning it has in our lives. Slowly, we work to figure out the purpose and value of our experiences, which parts of the story we wish to keep in our hearts and share with the world, and which parts we wish to release. Be patient with yourself and don't neglect your self-care, sister.
Topics
I want to offer this service to anyone who would like to take a closer look at their own sexual and reproductive health experiences: birth, pregnancy, abortion, pregnancy loss, abuse, assault, empowerment, etc.
Who is sharing stories: abortion, loss, trauma, empowerment.
What to Expect
What we do: we talk twice for about two hours each time. First session focused on you telling your story and choosing some highlights and low points, addressing unresolved questions or traumas. Homework: Find answers to unresolved questions, if possible. Journal about highlights and low points. What did you learn from these experiences? What was going on for you emotionally through these experiences? What did you feel proud of? What do you wish you had known in advance? What advice would you give someone else based on these experiences? Write a first draft for your self. Then write a second draft, which you would be willing to share with the outside world.
Second talk: talk about what changed, what was learned through the process, what you feel better about, what you still feel unresolved about. Create a plan for sharing your story. Who would you like to share your story with? What important medicine did your story have for you? How would you like to honor that medicine and remind yourself of it in daily life?
Private Sessions are available for $75 and take place at your home or a public place of your choice. You are welcome to invite support people of your choice to Private Sessions, or we can meet one-on-one. Private sessions usually last 2-3 hours. Followup by phone and email is included in this service.
The gift of self-care.
2 sessions:
1- Discuss your story, most challenging aspects
HW-graphic organizer, write your story
2-talk about your story, what you learned, what you're still processing/what is still unclear, what you feel good about
