A Hereford mum has set up an online blog to help other mums who have suffered with Post Natal Depression.
Kate Bishop who is the mother of two young children started “Edukate” because she experienced birth trauma following the birth of her first son. This, and the sudden loss of her dad in the first month of motherhood, caused me to have postnatal depression and PTSD.
Kate told Your Herefordshire
“Following nine months of therapy, I worked through my trauma and the main undercurrent was learning to be more self-compassionate. My aim is to help other mums build their own mental health resilience to equip them against life’s challenges. I want to create a safe community for mum’s, and in the future once i’m fully trained i’m looking to offer Compassion Focused Therapy sessions one to one and online.
No matter the journey, we could all do with being more self-compassionate. If you or anyone you know is experiencing birth trauma or the effects of, I’d love to connect on Instagram”
