Fiona Challacombe ADEPTstudy Excellent news 👍😊

Fiona Challacombe ADEPTstudy Great news!

Fiona Challacombe Nick Grey Dr Liam Gilligan @mgillespie25 ADEPTstudy CMF The danger as I see it w/ PTSD exposreu related to previous birthtrauma is that most women so desperate to get rid of the symptoms for sake of baby that it's really deeply challenging to do exposure with an open/accepting/aware posture: whiteknuckling exposure gen not good.

Fiona Challacombe ADEPTstudy Fabulous news congratulations!

ADEPTstudy Will be in touch!

Fiona Challacombe ADEPTstudy Great news Fiona!

Fiona Challacombe Nick Grey Dr Liam Gilligan @mgillespie25 ADEPTstudy CMF I know that one effect of it (and I didn't know I had PTSD at the time, that came later) was it stopped me from pushing into exposure unrelentingly yet unwillingly in ways that I now know can be problematic, reducing some of the stress which was a very valuable outcome.

Fiona Challacombe Nick Grey Dr Liam Gilligan @mgillespie25 ADEPTstudy Fiona when I got OCD dx in pg we had some correspondence. One thing you said that stuck with me was that it can be hard to do exposure in pg for a variety of reasons & you directed me to a CMF handout. That's abt 8 years ago now & still a useful practice for me!

Input from mums with #livedexperience has been invaluable to the study so far! If you’ve experienced antenatal anxiety and are interested in sharing feedback on the study, we would love for you to join our next focus group! Email [email protected] for more info.

ADEPTstudy How recent an experience are you looking for? I will ask within our loved experience group, but many of us are 5+ years out from birth.
