Redefining Postpartum Recovery: Trauma Informed Healing After Perinatal Loss and Birth Trauma

Postpartum recovery is not just about your body healing. For many parents, especially those who have endured perinatal loss, birth trauma, or a frightening delivery, it is about making sense of an emotional storm nobody warned you about. At Paloma’s Serenity Counseling, I hold space for your grief, anxiety, and pain so you can begin to feel whole again.

If you have experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or traumatic birth, postpartum life can feel completely different from what you expected. While everyone around you may expect you to “bounce back,” you might be navigating a swirl of anxiety, guilt, numbness, or sadness that does not seem to let up.

You Are Not Broken, You Are Healing from Trauma

Perinatal trauma is more common than many realize. Difficult labors, emergency interventions, NICU stays, or the grief of losing a baby can leave a lasting mark on your nervous system. It is not something you can just “get over” with time.

How Therapy Can Help

At Paloma’s Serenity Counseling, we use approaches like Brainspotting to help your brain and body release the trauma without having to retell every painful detail. For some, perinatal support groups, like Let’s Talk Postpartum, offer a safe place to connect with others who understand this journey.

You deserve a space where your grief and anxiety are not minimized and where your healing is just as important as your baby’s care.

Support Available Wherever You Are

Sessions are virtual, so whether you are a new parent in Colorado Springs or recovering at home in Denver, you can get care that meets you where you are, both literally and emotionally.
