Todays show brings you part two of Peter Mabbutt’s conversation with hypnotherapy and childbirth expert, Sonia Richards. Sonia gives an overview of the approach she uses with childbirth before we explore the mother-baby link, focussing on the effects of maternal stress on the baby. We also discuss how naturalised language patterns regarding birth can be detrimental to the mother’s experience before exploring the reality behind the concept of pain free childbirth.     During the show Sonia makes reference to the Royal College of Midwives publication ‘Evidence Based Guidelines for Midwifery-Led Care in Labour’. It can be found as a free download on the internet by following this link:     https://www.rcm.org.uk/sites/default/files/Supporting%20Women%20in%20Labour_1.pdf          

Today’s show is the first of a two-part interview with Sonia Richards where she and Peter Mabbutt explore the role of hypnotherapy in childbirth and look at the naissance of Hypnobirthing in the UK. They explore the rise in the use of Caesarean section and why our current litigatious climate is possibly driving this. Peter and Sonia also delve into the natural birth vs medicalised birth debate and highlight the role of oxytocin and the effect that medicalised birth has on bonding and the risk of autism.     The often overlooked link between traumatic birth and PTSD and vicarious PTSD in the non-birth parent is explored, before Sonia and Peter turn their attention on the Duchess of Cambridge’s use of hypnotherapy in childbirth, and how this has stimulated a welcome trend in celebrities opting for more natural approaches to birth.   Part two of this conversation will be broadcast in the next show.

In today's show Peter Mabbutt talks to Priya Ekanayaka about the psychology of comics and comicbook characters and the relevance they have to therapy.
