Blair Shackle: Postpartum Anxiety and PTSD – Part 1

Take 25 minutes over lunch to feed your soul!

In the first part of their conversation on Dare Ah New Belief, Nada and Blair discuss: 

1. Blair’s first pregnancy, and the mental, emotional, and spiritual suffering when she learned she had miscarried at 10 weeks
2. Knowing early on that she didn’t want to be a mother … at least not yet
3. The grief and shame and blame that she carried about the miscarriage deep within
4. Therapies that helped Blair heal and continue to heal years later
5. The mental agitation Blair experienced with her first full-term pregnancy

Key takeaways: 

• Health problems occur when we don’t deal with our emotional pain
• Healing is a process, and when we love and nurture ourselves and our journey, we are led to heal
• One in four women will suffer a miscarriage
• The pain of losing a child in a miscarriage solidified Blair’s knowing she wanted to be a mother
• Fathers are deeply affected by the loss of a child through miscarriage
