I never thought that after more than 5 years I would be able to come to terms with my traumatic birth experience, but Sonja was exactly the right person to help me. I had already had so much therapy, but it didn't help me in this one area, it didn't even help me to see my suffering properly... Sonja, on the other hand, gets to the heart of the matter and guides you through the process in a very empathetic and individualized way. At first I was skeptical as to whether the time and number of conversations would be enough - I also had an extra conversation after the actual accompaniment - but it was actually just right. It's an extreme shame that such an effective therapy is not paid for by health insurance companies, but on the other hand the Mama Healing program was worth every euro for the result, which a therapy paid for by health insurance companies would never have achieved. I finally feel liberated from all the thoughts of guilt and self-reproach that I had been harboring for far too long after giving birth, I have finally arrived in the here and now as a mother and am no longer so strange and insecure in this role. For too long I was stuck in the past and in my supposed mistakes and was therefore not resilient. When I think about how much I have on my plate at the moment and how I manage to deal with it now - 1-2 years ago, I would have broken.
And as chance or fate would have it, the "Roses Revolution Day", for which I had resolved to go back to the place of the traumatic birth and lay down a rose as a sign against violence against women giving birth - which unfortunately happened to me at the time, fell during the time of my Mama Healing support. Sonja looked at this plan with me from all sides, realized that it was right for me and encouraged me to take this step. And even though the confrontation wasn't easy, it was exactly what I needed at the time. This sense of achievement and the processing discussions as well as a written processing, which I felt the impulse to do and which I carried out independently, were exactly the closure I had needed for so long.
Dear Sonja, I can't thank you enough for your helpful offer, your support and your sensitive approach to the processing sessions! A thousand thanks to you!
I can unreservedly recommend Sonja as a therapist for processing a birth that was experienced as traumatic or stressful. In any case, I can wholeheartedly say that the individual support has brought me more than the success I had hoped for. I didn't take part in the Mama Healing Circle, as I would certainly have needed the group experience more after the birth experience, but I'm sure that it also helped a great deal.
