If you freeze in appointments, forget your questions, or leave feeling like you weren’t heard — this short episode is for you.

Katie gently explores why trauma makes it hard to speak up, and shares CBT tools, midwifery insights, and a short breath and anchor practice to help you feel more prepared for your next maternity appointment.

✨ What you’ll hear:

  • Why the “freeze” response is common in pregnancy after trauma
  • How to prepare and rehearse what you want to say
  • A calming breathing practice to support you before and during appointments

You deserve to feel confident and heard in every conversation about your care.
