Defining Holding Space through the Complications of Birthcare #055

Your BIRTH Partners

In this episode we are taking a look back over our season of asking ourselves and our guests what it means to hold space through the complicated parts of pregnancy, birth, & postpartum.
We set out to answer this question because so often when complications arise we see so many policies, procedures, and personalities emerge that do not center the patient or their needs through the complications.
We believe our ability to hold space for birthing people is critical to recreating a standard of trauma-informed collaborative care that serves folks well. While some of us are natural space holders, others of us have to work hard to cultivate this skill. No matter where you are on this journey, our guests from this season have insights to share with you as you consider how you want to show up for those in your care.
Tune in as Maggie shares her reflections of walking with our guests through these conversations in season 4 and a compilation of all of their answers for your crash course in defining holding space and learning to put it into practice! Prepare to leave inspired.
