Birth as an Initiation – Postpartum as ‘the Return’: An exploration of postpartum hardship and understanding the “Its Me” mindset with Jennifer Summerfelt
Episode #2 on The Sacred Window podcast
In this episode, Jennifer introduced her unique therapy map approach to healing. Christine and Jennifer began exploring the neurological needs of someone in the postpartum window but had more to discuss. Today, they will further examine birth as an initiatory experience and postpartum as 'the return.'
Specifically, Christine and Jennifer want to look more closely at how Western culture tends not to pause during initiations like birth to examine what is happening below the surface. Jennifer believes this contributes greatly to imbalances in mental health. Their conversation will harness the value in these profound life moments and the process of growth. - Christine Eck
