The one to turn to, when making sense of birth experience

As a midwife, this is the book I turn to when working with women who have had an unexpected, traumatic or diminishing birth experience. There are many ways a woman can come to understand her experience, but this book helps women process in a way that heals the hurt, honors and then transforms the anger, and brings the lessons of one's past experiences to a new perspective. Hopefully, this may help women face another pregnancy, mother her chldren without that burden, and to continue her life work of being and becoming the woman she is most able to be. Recommended for processing a "bad" birth experience, however the woman perceives it. Insightful for recognizing the psychological, emotional, and relational power of childbirth, which does transform us all.
