This is really interesting, it would be good to hear what men themselves think and feel about seeking help. I am noticing an uplift in male clients in my practice which feels very positive.

I wanted to share this link after reading a recent post by Zoe Clark-Coates. The ability to have a photo edited to include all of the children in your family is absolutely beautiful. I've worked with clients in the past who have had family trees made to include their rainbow children and other art pieces where the children are included symbolically in some way. Marking your losses in a way that feels meaningful for you is what matters, there are some more ideas included in my blog below

It's so important not to overlook the needs of fathers/birth partners, especially where there has been a traumatic element to a delivery.

🌟Birth Trauma for partners🌟

Fathers and non-birthing mothers are all too-often overlooked when it comes to traumatic birth.

In the recent birth trauma inquiry, partners spoke about how hard it was to witness a traumatic birth, and feeling fearful that their partner or their baby might be about to die.

They spoke of not being told what was happening during the birth, and of their distress at not being able to help their partner. They talked about how hard it was to go home alone after a traumatic birth, but not having anyone with whom they could share their story.

The risk of PTSD, flashbacks and long-term mental health issues such as depression is very real for both fathers and non-birthing mothers.

If you are struggling or know someone that is please share the below link and assure them there IS help out there. 💜

This works really well as a visual aid/reminder. Having something like this up on your fridge or as a screen saver on your phone could help prompt self care when you are struggling with mental health.

Mindful and deep breathing practices are so important for well being and regulating our nervous systems. I use this one a lot with clients as it offers a distraction form racing thoughts with the counting and allows the brain to access optimal oxygen levels so you don't feel as foggy as you can do when anxious. Here are some more self help techniques you can try;
