For Women Only, Book 1: Healing Childbirth PTSD and Postpartum

For Women Only, Book 1: Healing Childbirth PTSD and Postpartum Depression with Parts Psychology (Volume 1)

â€œFor Women Only, Book 1â€ is the first in a series of books devoted to exploring womenâ€™s issues in psychotherapy and counseling. This first book describes the treatment in just six sessions of one womanâ€™s struggle with childbirth so painful it produced PTSD. Eight months of postpartum depression followed the birth before she found effective psychotherapy treatment. Other volumes will address emotionally and physically painful experiences with the menstrual/ovulation cycle, the trauma of miscarriages and stillbirths, and the effect on women of their partnersâ€™ porn addictions.Book 1 describes the treatment of postpartum depression and childbirth PTSD with Parts Psychology, a therapy that emphasizes work with the hidden parts (self-states, ego states, subpersonalities) of the whole person. These are the parts we refer to when we say â€œA part of me wants to leave him but another part cannot imagine life without him.â€ For Catherine, the 34-year-old mother who is the subject of the therapy, the two most important parts were Catherine 22, a younger part who filled the role of an angry Catherine, and Medusa, a snakes-as-hair version of Catherineâ€™s mother. Therapy included both reducing the anger of Catherine 22 and neutralizing the effects of the Medusa â€œintroject,â€ an unconscious representative of many negative traits of the patientâ€™s mother.Catherineâ€™s emotional issues were compounded by her motherâ€™s rejection of her at the beginning of her pregnancy. Once her best friend, her mother became a continuing thorn in her side by refusing to speak to her throughout her pregnancy. The narrative describes how the motherâ€™s negative influence in Catherineâ€™s life was diminished through therapy. Positive results were confirmed through testing of Catherineâ€™s pre- and post-treatment symptoms.The narrative of Catherineâ€™s therapy illustrates how the Parts Psychology model provides an effective blueprint for bringing rapid relief and healing of a womanâ€™s childbirth and postpartum issues. The second half of the book contains the excerpt of Chapter 1 of the authorâ€™s book, â€œParts Psychology: A Trauma-Based, Self-State Therapy for Emotional Healing.â€
