How does Hypnosis for Birth work with other childbirth preparation techniques?
Hypnosis for Birth works well with all childbirth preparation techniques, largely due to its design. Due to the nature of childbirth classes there is limited time to actually learn and practice deep relaxation. The ability to relax deeply is critical to staying out of the Fear-Tension-Pain cycle. My goal in working with clients is for them to learn how to very quickly go into a deeply relaxed, focused, and aware place to work with their contractions, while diminishing their perception of sensations and discomfort. These skills amplify and build on the information and techniques taught by other childbirth classes, and will work in a variety of birthing positions and situations. Ive had women comment after their birth took an unexpected turn [C-section, transfer to hospital, etc.] that the hypnosis skills were a huge help in staying calm and flowing with the change.
