S3 Ep14: Understanding Birth Trauma from a Neurodivergent Perspective with Dr Emma Svanberg
Today I talk with Dr Emma Svanberg, clinical psychologist, author, founder of The Psychology Co-operative and co-founder of Make Birth Better CIC.
We talk about her own experiences as an autistic woman with ADHD, understanding birth trauma in the context of neurodivergence, and the evolving awareness and understanding of neurodivergence within perinatal mental health services.
Emma references the white paper by the Autistic Girls Network; 'Autism, Girls & Keeping It All Inside' which you can access here:
