Navigating Intimacy after birth trauma
Navigating intimacy amidst the aftermath of birth trauma requires a delicate balance of patience and understanding. The emotional wounds left behind often influence your ability to connect, even when the desire for closeness remains.

True connection after such experiences requires creating a safe space where vulnerability is met with empathy, allowing both partners to feel heard and valued.
