Anxiety is an incredibly common mental health issue

So common in fact that HCP can be dismissive of the severity of distress that it can cause.

Anxiety can be insidious. It can trick us into thinking that something is terribly wrong when it is not. It tells us not to trust ourselves or others. It tells us to stay small and hidden from view.

This is hugely problematic for parents and birth professionals  experiencing anxiety because both roles involve caring for others. 

Anxiety prevents us from connecting, engaging and being truly present.

These are qualities that are all required for successful human relationships to develop.

When we can recognise and acknowledge anxiety we have the opportunity to learn from it, lean into it, and grow from it....

Instead of running away from the thoughts and feelings that are driving anxiety we can face them courageously.

We can use anxiety as a contrary compass to show us where we need to go.

‘Informative, Comprehensive, Great mix of theory & practice options.’ Louise Macpherson

 

‘This is a fabulous course; I thoroughly enjoyed the videos and coursework. I felt so confident after completing the course and Alex really helped guide me through the process.’ Jade Gordon

 

‘What an excellent course. Validating all that I thought was correct and supporting the idea that any listening or debrief service is so valuable to women and professionals. There are so many lessons to be learnt not only from the course but in the way we listen to women and their families about how they have been traumatised (often by the very actions of the people supposed to be caring or advocating for them).’ Sarah Kelly Midwife
